Cherish lyrics

So I'm tired of broken hearts,

Of losing at this game.

Before I start this dance,

I take a chance in telling you:

I want more than just a romance.

You are my destiny.

I can't let go,

Baby, can't you see?

Cupid, please take your aim at me!

Cherish the thought

Of always having you here by my side.

Cherish the joy,

You keep bringing it into my life.

Cherish your strength,

You got the power to make me feel good.

Perish the thought

Of ever leaving - I never would!

I was never satisfied with casual encounters.

I can't hide that need for two hearts that bleed

With burning love,

That's the way it's got to be.

Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way, I bet.

So don't underestimate my point of view.

Cherish the thought

Of always having you here by my side.

Cherish the joy,

You keep bringing it into my life.

Cherish your strength,

You got the power to make me feel good.

Perish the thought

Of ever leaving - I never would!

Who? You! Can't get away, I won't let you.

Who? You! I could never forget to...

Cherish is the word I use to remind me of...

Your love

Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way, I bet.

So don't underestimate my point of view.

Give me strength.

Give me joy, my boy,

I will always cherish you.
