CHERISH

Words & Music by Terry Kirkman

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feelings 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 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’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 feelings 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.
