The Partridge Family Cherish lyrics

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 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'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
