CGFFGC There was a child Named Bernadette, I heard the story long ago
CGFGC She saw the queen of heaven once and kept the vision in her soul
C7FDG No one believed what she had seen, no one believed what she had heard
CGFDm7GC That there were sorrows to be healed and mercy, mercy in this world.
FAm So many hearts I find, Broke like yours and mine
FDm7G7 Torn by what we've done and can't undo.
CGFAm I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you
FGC Like Bernadette would do.
 
CGFFGC We've been around we fall, we fly. We mostly fall we mostly run.
CGFFGC And every now and then we try, to mend the damage that we've done.
C7FDG Tonight, tonight I cannot rest. I've got this joy here inside my breast.
CGFDm7GC To think that I did not forget, that child, that song of Bernadette.
CGFAmFGC I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you, like Bernadette would do.
