There was a child named Bernadette I heard the story long ago She saw the queen of heaven once And kept the vision in her soul No one believed what she had seen No one believed what she heard That there were sorrows to be healed And mercy, mercy in this world So many hearts I find Broke like yours and mine Torn by what we've done and can't undo I just wanna hold you Come on, let me hold you Like Bernadette would do We've been around, we fall, we fly We mostly fall, we mostly run And every now and then we try To mend the damage that we've done Tonight, tonight, I just can't rest I've got this joy here, here inside my breast To think that I did not forget That child, that song of Bernadette So many hearts I find Hearts like yours and mine Torn by what we've done and can't undo Well, I just wanna hold you Come on, let me hold you Like Bernadette would do I just wanna hold you Won't you let me hold you Like Bernadette would do?

Bernadette, people are searchin' for the kind of love that we possess Some go on searchin' their whole life through And never find the love I've found in you And when I speak of you I see envy in other men's eyes And I'm well aware of what's on their minds They pretend to be my friend When all the time they long to persuade you from my side They'd give the world and all they Own for just one moment we have known Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live But while I live only to hold you some other men They long to control you But how can they control you Bernadette When they can not control themselves, Bernadette From wanting you, needing you But darling, you belong to me I'll tell the world you belong to me I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me I'll tell the world you're a part of me Bernadette In your arms I find the kind of Peace of mind the world is searching for But you, you give me the joy this Heart of mine has always been longing for In you I have what other men long for All men need someone to worship and adore That's why I treasure you and place you high above For the only joy in life is to be loved So whatever you do Bernadette, keep on loving me, Bernadette, keep on needing me Bernadette You're the soul of me On that dream, you're a? to me And Bernadette, you mean more to me Than a woman was ever meant to be
