So tired of broken hearts
And losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance
Your are my destiny
I can't let go, baby, can't you see
Cupid, please take your aim at me

Chorus:
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby, I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I'm always singing it
Cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby, I perish the thought
Of ever leaving
I never would

I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can't hide my 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

Chorus

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
Giving it, giving it to me, boy
Keep giving you all, all, all my joy
Give me faith
I will always cherish you

Romeo and Juliet
They never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view

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

Cherish
Give me strength
Give me joy, my boy
I will always cherish you

Repeat
