Cherish

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 wished that I had told you
 You don't know how many times
 I 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 going to be the one
 To share your dreams
 That I am not going to be the one
 To share your schemes
 That I am not going to be the one
 To share what seems to be the life
 That you could cherish me 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're 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 say they'd love you
 With all the rest of their lives
 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 wished that I had told you
 You don't know how many times
 I wished that I could hold you
 You don't know how many times
 I wished that I could mold you into someone
 That could cherish me as much as I cherish you
 And I do
 Cherish you
 And I do
 I cherish you
 Yes I do
 I cherish you
