Bill Elliot - Song of Bernardette lyrics

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 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 I just want to hold you, won't let me hold you Like Bernadette would do I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you Like Bernadette would do
