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

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 drivin' 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
