Barry Manilow Cherish/Windy 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 drivin' me out of my mind

Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)
Above the clouds (Above the clouds)

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 lives
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
(Everyone knows it's Windy)
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
(Everyone knows it's Windy)
(And Windy has stormy eyes)
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
(That flash at the sound of lies)
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
(And Windy has wings to fly Above the clouds)
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
(Above the clouds)
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Cherish is the word I use to describe
(Everyone knows it's Windy)
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
(Everyone knows it's Windy)
