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 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
