Cherish

Cherish
is the word I would 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 is 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'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
