36.Cherish

Lyricist:Terry Kirkman

Cherish is a word I say to describe
All the feelings I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times
I wish that I had told you

You don't know how many times I wish that I could hold you
You don't know how many times
I wish that I could mold you into someone
Who could cherish as much as I cherish you

Cherish is a word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
And I'm not going to be the one to share your dreams
And I'm not going to be the one to share your schemes
And I'm not going to be the one to share what seems to be the
life
That you would cherish as much as I cherish you

Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That the right amount of letters and just the right sound
That could make you hear and 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 guys who say they
like you
Like all the rest of their lies when all they wanted was
To touch your face, your hand and gaze into your eyes
