Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cherish is the word I say to describe
All the feelings I have hiding here for you inside
[Verse 2]
You don't know how many times I wish that I had told you
You don't know how many times I wish that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I wish that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish as much as I cherish you
[Verse 3]
Cherish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
[Verse 4]
And I'm not going to be the one to share your dreams
And I'm not going to be the one to share your schemes
And I'm not going to be the one to share what seems
To be the life that you would cherish as much as I cherish you
[Verse 5]
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That the right amount of letters and just the right sound
That could make you hear and make you see
That you are driving me out of my mind
[Verse 6]
Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realize
That I want you, just like a thousand other guys
Who say they like you (Like all the rest of their lies)
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hand
And gaze into your eyes
[Verse 7]
Cherish is the word I say to describe
All the feelings I have hiding here for you inside
[Verse 8]
You don't know how many times I wish that I had told you
You don't know how many times I wish that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I wish that I could mold you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
[Verse 9]
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word
