Song Of Bernadette Lyrics by Bette Midler
Album : Bathhouse Betty
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 want to 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 right here inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find
Broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Come on, let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
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 want to 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 right here inside my breast   To think that I did not forget    That child, that song of Bernadette      So many hearts I find   Broke like yours and mine   Torn by what we've done and can't undo   I just want to hold you   Come on, let me hold you   Like Bernadette would do
