Cherish
Rita Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 drivin' 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

Talented and sincere?? MEE-AGAIN??

I CALL FACT CHECK... and the results are in.

Yes. Her family of slave parents & siblings refused to sharpen her crayons because she kept drawing picturess of crowns and banknotes on the walls and saying "I am THE Queen! You WILL OBEY ME!"

SOOOOOOO traumatic for the fledgling Queen of Sincerity. But oh, how times have changed!

Every single domestic aide in California has been hired, abused and fired.

Now she has to wait for her fake babies to start walking to get someone to fetch her tiaras. But who's going to clean ALL THOSE MIRRORS (especially that freaking dumb 'magic' one, which keeps showing an image of KATE... what's with THAT?)

But talented and sincere?

The podcasts were beyond abysmal and akin in content to the output of a teenage girl. Like that Dylan creep, who must surely - just to maintain relevance - be loudly espousing the insincere suicide gambit favoured by her/his/its/their contemporaries. Whatever they touch turns to crap.

Are you reading this Harry? EVERYTHING mate.

YUP.... and then become the coronation victim of a diligently arranged milner's feather, proving you CAN turn shit into gold

Paris ended up being a better human being than literally any of the kardashians

@rb2k196

With the kardashians, it's a very low bar but I agree, she's way above them

@a.alphonso6193

lmao how. she literally does nothing useful or important

@AWindy94

​@@a.alphonso6193 She does more than the Kardashians, and she's part of the reason they became famous celebrities in the first place.
