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

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