Aaron Neville - Song Of Bernadette Lyrics
(leonard cohen, jennifer warnes, bill elliott)Duet with linda ronstadtThere was a child named bernadetteI heard the story long agoShe saw the queen of heaven onceAnd kept the vision in her soulNo one believed what she had seenNo one believed what she heardBut there was sorrows to beAnd mercy, mercy in this worldSo many hearts I find, broke like yours and mineTorn by what weve done and cant undoI just want to hold you, wont you let me hold youLike bernadette would doWeve been around, we fall, we flyWe mostly fall, we mostly runAnd every night, and then we tryTo mend the damage that weve doneTonight, tonight I can not restIve got this joy inside my breastTo think that I did not forget that childThat song of bernadetteSo many hearts I find, broke like yours and mineTorn by what weve done and cant undoI just want to hold, come on let me hold youLike bernadette would doI just want to hold you, wont you let me hold youLike bernadette would do
