Bernadette (intro)

D ~ ~ D C

1. Bernadette, people are searching for

Bb A - C

the kind of love that we possess.

D C

Some go on, searching their whole life through,

Bb A ~

and never find the love I found in you.

F Dm Gm C

And when I speak of you, I see envy in other men's eyes.

F Dm Gm - C

And I'm well aware, of what's on their mind.

Gm F C

They pretend to be my friend, when all the time (sweet Bernadette)

Gm F C

they long to persuade you from my side (sweet Bernadette).

Gm Am

They'd give the world and all they own

C

for just one moment we have known.

D C Bb A - C

2. Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that it gives.

D C Bb A ~

But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live.

F Dm Gm C

But while I live only to hold you,

F Dm Gm C

some other men, they long to control you.

Gm F C

But how can they control you, Bernadette (sweet Bernadette),

Gm F C

when they cannot control themselves, Bernadette (sweet B),

Gm Am C

from wanting you, needing you, but darling, you belong (to me)

D C Bb A - C

3. Bernadette, I tell the world, you belong to me, I tell the world.

D C

You're the soul of me, I tell the world,

Bb A ~

you're a part of me, Bernadette !

F Bb Dm

In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind

A - Bb

the world is searching for.

F Bb Dm

But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine has always

A

been longing for.

F Dm Gm C

In you I have what other men are longing for,

F Dm Gm C

all men need someone to worship and adore.

Gm F C

That's why I treasure you and place you high above,

Gm F C Gm Am C

for the only joy in life is to be loved, so whatever you do, Bernad.,

D C Bb A

4. Keep on lovin' me, Bernadette, keep on needin' me, Bernadette,

~ ~ ~ - - - - - - - - D C

Bernadette ! ! Bernadette, you're the soul of me,

Bb A - C

more than a dream, you're clear to me.

And Bernadette, you mean more to me,

Bb A

than a woman was ever meant to be .....
