AARON NEVILLE - SONG OF BERNADETTE lyrics

(Leonard Cohen, Jennifer Warnes, Bill Elliott)

duet with Linda Ronstadt

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

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 can not 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 want to hold, come on let me hold you

Like Bernadette would do

I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold you

Like Bernadette would do
