The Association - Cherish lyrics
[The Association - Cherish lyrics]
Cherish is a 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 a word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
When I am not gonna be the
One to share your dreams
When I am not gonna be the
One to share your schemes
When 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 beginnin' 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 love 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
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 a word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
When I am not gonna be the
One to share your dreams
When I am not gonna be the
One to share your schemes
When 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 beginnin' 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 love 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
