#1.
D C
Bernadette, people are searchin' for
Bb A
the kind of love that we possess.
D C
Some go on, searchin' their whole life through,
Bb A
and never find the love I've 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 minds.
Gm F C
They pretend to be my friend, when all the time
Gm F C
they long to persuade you from my side.
Gm Am
They'd give the world and all they own
C
for just one moment we have known.
#2.
D C Bb A C
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,
Gm F C
when they can not control themselves, Bernadette,
Gm Am C
from wanting you, needing you, but darling, you belong to me.
#3.
D C Bb
Bernadette, I'll tell the world you belong to me.
A C D
I'll tell the world....you're the soul of me.
C Bb A
I'll tell the world 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
But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine
Dm A
has always been longing for.
F Dm Gm C
In you I have what other men long 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
for the only joy in life is to be loved.
Gm Am C D
So whatever you do, Bernadette, keep on loving me,
C Bb A
Bernadette, keep on needing me...Bernadette!
OUTRO:
D C Bb
Bernadette, you're the soul of me..more than a dream,
A C
you're clear to me.
D C Bb
And Bernadette, you mean more to me, than a woman was
A
ever meant to be...(Fade.)
