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 wish 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 lives
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes
(* Repeat)
And I do
Cherish you
And I do
Cherish you
