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 was 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 want to hold you Won't you let me hold you Like Bernadette would do We've been around we fall we fly We mostly fall we mostly run And every night 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 you let me hold you Like Bernadette would do I just want to hold you Come on let me hold you Like Bernadette would do
