The Four Tops - Cherish lyrics

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 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 me as much as I cherish you And I do cherish you, cherish is the word
