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
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
