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

Cherish 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 you share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one you share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one you share what
Seems to be the life that you could Cherish as much as I do yours

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 girls
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
