Lyrics:
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 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

And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you
Cherish is the word
