Barry Manilow Cherish-Windy (Duet With The Association) 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 driving me out of my mind

Who's peeking down 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
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who's reaching 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

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 (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)
Windy has wings to fly
(You don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you)
Above the clouds, (Into someone who could cherish me as much as
Above the clouds (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)
