Cherish

Cherish is the word I use to describe

All the feeling that I have hidin' here for you inside

You don't know how many times I wished that I had told you

You don't know how many times I wished that I could hold you

You don't know how many times I 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 me 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 driving 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 say they'd love you with all the rest of their lives

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 hidin' here for you inside

You don't know how many times I wished that I had told you

You don't know how many times I wished that I could hold you

You don't know how many times I wished that I could mold you

Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you

And I do

Cherish you

Oh, and I do

I cherish you

Yes, I do

I cherish you
