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 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 I use
That more than applies
To the hope in my heart
Each time I realize
That I’m not gonna be the one
To share your dreams
That I’m not gonna be the one
To share your schemes
That I’m not gonna be the one
To share what seems to be the life
That you could cherish
As much as I cherish yours
Oh, I’m beginning to think
That man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have just 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’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 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
