CHERISH

Words & Music by Terry Kirkman

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All this feeling I've been feeling way down deep 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 this hope in my heart each time that I realise
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
No I'm not gonna be the one to share your schemes
I'm 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 again
That have the right amount of letters
Just the right sound
That could make you hear
Could make you see
That you are driving me out of my mind

Oh I could tell you that I need you still, then you'd realize
How much I want you still, like those thousand other guys
Who told you that 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'm using to describe
All this feeling I've been feeling way down deep 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
I cherish you
Yes I do, yes I do now
I really cherish you, cherish you
Yes I do, yes I do now
Cherish you
I really really do now
Yes I do, yes I do now
Really really really cherish you
Really really cherish you
I really do....
