Jennifer Warnes - Song Of Bernadette lyrics

(leonard cohen, jennifer warnes, bill elliott) 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 But there were sorrows to be here 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 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 wanna hold you, won't let me hold you Like bernadette would do I just wanna hold you, come on let me hold you Like bernadette would do
