Cherish

Fandango11 Comments

Yes, I know today is not Song Lyric Sunday day, but when I saw what today’s one-word prompt was, “cherish,” this song by The Association popped into my head.

Written by Terry Kirkman, “Cherish” was released in 1966 and reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in September of that year.

Here are the lyrics. Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!

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

Cherish is the word

“How so?” asked George.

“I read the comments on my post and the comments on the comments. They seemed to take on a life of their own, following different threads, heading in unexpected, unanticipated directions,” Edgar said.

“I see,” George yawned.

Written for this week’s #MicroMondays prompt. The 62 word story must use the above prompt verbatim, including the prompt, “Then I started thinking about the butterfly effect.”

Merry Christmas

I timed this post to be published at a few minutes past midnight, just in time for Christmas Day to begin (in my time zone, anyway).

I simply want to wish all of my fellow bloggers, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, pagan, atheist, agnostic, sectarian, nonsectarian, liberal, conservative, Democrat, or Republican, a very merry (or happy) Christmas.

I sincerely hope that each and every one of you has a wonderful day shared with family and close friends.
