The Partridge Family - Cherish
from the album "Greatest Hits"
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 mould 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 realise
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 driving me out of my mind
Oh, I could say I need you, but then you'd realise
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 in to 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 mould you
Into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
And I do, cherish you
Yes I do, cherish you
