"Bless Me Father" lyrics

"Bless Me Father"

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned
She had big brown eyes and silky skin
Bless me, Father, I couldn't resist
Oh Father, you just have no idea what you've missed

Where it's Wednesday every second week
From September until May
She gets the bus to go to work
Before the dawning of the day
She took my hand and led me
Up the stairs into temptation
In the room the candle flickers
And your feet are swept away

Oh, bless me, Father, for I have sinned
She had big brown eyes silky skin
Bless me, Father, I couldn't resist
Oh Father, you have no idea what you've missed

All the daydreams in my gallery
Are portraits of her prettiness
All the secret silent moments
Call her features into view
Every other woman
Draws contrasts and comparisons
With the stars and heavenly bodies
She sits perfectly in tune

Oh, bless me, Father, for I have sinned
She had big brown eyes, silky skin
Bless me, Father, I couldn't resist
Oh Father, you have no idea what you've missed

I'll say three hail Mary's and a glory be
If prayers would bring her here to me
I clenched her shoulders in ecstasy

She's got a heart of steel
(Delightful kindness)
She looks great in jeans
(Dunnes stores finest)
In the crucibles flames
(Her heart was forged)
In tongues of fire
Now I long for more

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned
She had big brown eyes, silky skin
She's the greatest kisser I ever kissed
Oh Father, you have no idea what you've missed
