Bernadette Lyrics

Sal
Whoa------i got time on my hands tonight
You’re the girl of my dreams
When I’m near you my future seems bright

Oo------i want you to be my girl
I want you to be my movie
I am sal mineo and I need you so
Sweet bernadette

Whoa------you got style from your hair to your heels
Though my words may be jumbled
Still I’m telling you just how it feels

I love you

Sal & bernadette
I love you
And the breeze that wraps around you

Sal
Satin summer nights

Bernadette
Satin summer nights

Sal & bernadette
A girl I can’t forget

Sal
Whoa------you’re the smile of the moon bernadette

Sal & bernadette
Dom dom dom doo
Well-a well I’m home
Dom dom dom doo
Well-a well I’m home

Sal
Wop, wop, wop, wop
Come with me
There’s a place I want you to see

When the leaves are dark
I’ve got a hiding place in central park
And the sky is a coat of diamonds

There’s a wooden cross over my bed
The city is lit with candles
They’re shining for you bernadette.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oo oo, bernadette

Sal & bernadette
Dom dom dom doo
Well-a well I’m home
Dom dom dom doo
Well-a well I’m home

Sal
Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
