Cherish is the word I use to describe
all the feeling that I have hiding,
here, for you inside.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could mold you
into someone who could cherish me
as much as I cherish you.
Perish is the word that more than applies
to the hope in my heart each time
I realize that I am not gonna be the one
to share your dreams,
that I am not gonna be the one
to share your schemes,
that I am not gonna be the one
to share what seems to be the life
that you could cherish
as much as I do yours.
Oh, I'm beginning to think
that man has never found the words
that could make you want me,
that have the right amount of letters,
just the right sound that could make you hear,
make you see that you are drivin' me out of my mind.
Oh, I could say I need you
but then you'd realize that I want you
just like a thousand other guys
who'd say they loved you
with all the rest of their lies
when all they wanted was to touch your face,
your hands and gaze into your eyes.
Cherish is the word I use to describe
all the feeling that I have hiding,
here, for you inside.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could mold
you into someone who could cherish me
as much as I cherish you.
And I do cherish you.
And I do cherish you.
Cherish is the word.
