| Bernadette, people are searching for |
| The kind of love that we possess |
| (Bernadette) |
| Some go on searching their whole life through |
| And never find the love I found in you |
| And when I speak of you |
| I see envy in othermen’s eyes |
| An’I’m well aware of what’s on their mind |
| They pretend to be my friend but all the time |
| (Sweet Bernadette) |
| They long to persuade you from my side |
| (Sweet Bernadette) |
| They’d give the world and all they own |
| For just one moment we have known |
| (Bernadette) |
| Bernadette, they want you because |
| Of pride that it gives |
| (Bernadette) |
| 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 |
| (Sweet Bernadette) |
| When they can not control themselves, Bernadette? |
| (Sweet Bernadette) |
| From wanting you, needing you |
| But darling, you belong to me! |
| (Bernadette) |
| I’ll tell the world |
| You belong to me |
| I’ll tell the world |
| You’re the soul of me |
| (Bernadette) |
| I’ll tell the world |
| You’re a part of me Oh, yeah! |
| In your arms I find a kind of peace of mind |
| The world is searching for |
| But you, you give me the joy |
| This heart of mine has always been longin’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 |
| (Sweet Bernadette) |
| For the only joy in life, is to be loved |
| So, whatever you do, Bernadette |
| Keep on loving me (Bernadette) |
| Bernadette, keep on needin’me, Bernadette |
| Bernadette! |
| (Bernadette) |
| You’re the soul-a me More than a dream |
| You’re the plan to me And Bernadette |
| (Bernadette) |
| You mean more to me Than a woman was ever meant to be Bernadette |
| FADES- |
| My darling, Bernadette. |
