Song Of Bernadette Lyrics - Bathhouse Betty - Bette Midler

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 

That there were sorrows to be healed 

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 wanna hold you 

Come on, let me hold you 

Like Bernadette would do 

We've been around, we fall, we fly 

We mostly fall, we mostly run 

And every now and then we try 

To mend the damage that we've done 

Tonight, tonight, I just can't rest 

I've got this joy here, here inside my breast 

To think that I did not forget 

That child, that song of Bernadette 

So many hearts I find 

Hearts like yours and mine 

Torn by what we've done and can't undo 

Well, I just wanna hold you 

Come on, let me hold you 

Like Bernadette would do 

I just wanna hold you 

Won't you let me hold you 

Like Bernadette would do?
