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.

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.

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!

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.)
