Bernadette, people are searchin' for the kind of love that we possess

Some go on searchin' their whole life through

And never find the love I've found in you

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

And I'm well aware of what's on their minds

They pretend to be my friend When all the time they long to persuade you from my side

They'd give the world and all they own for just one moment we have known Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives

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

But while I live only to hold you some other men

They long to control you

But how can they control you Bernadette

When they can not control themselves, Bernadette

From wanting you, needing you

But darling, you belong to me I'll tell the world you belong to me

I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me

I'll tell the world you're a part of me In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind the world is searching for

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

In you I have what other men long for

All men need someone to worship and adore

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

For the only joy in life is to be loved

So whatever you do

Bernadette, keep on loving me, Bernadette, keep on needing me Bernadette You're the soul of me

On that dream, you're a ? to me

And Bernadette, you mean more to me

Than a woman was ever meant to be
