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. |
