Nina Simone - Cherish lyrics
[Nina Simone - Cherish lyrics]
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 (Told you)
You don't know how many times I've
Wished that I could hold you (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 to share your dreams (Dreams)
That I am not gonna be the
One to share your schemes (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 girls
Who'd say they loved you With all
The rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face
Your hand 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 (Told you)
You don't know how many times I've
Wished that I could hold you (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
