Cherish
"Cherish"
(Terry Kirkman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
One of the main signature pieces for the group, this follow-up release
To "Along Comes Mary" rose to #1 nationally, and remained there for over
Three months. [Maybe in Japan; in the US, it was #1 for three weeks.]
This song (Texts of songs ) was a result of Terry Kirkman's fascination with the word
"Cherish". The group's music publisher fought the title, believing it
Was too archaic. Arranged by the group, this song (Texts of songs ) went through three
Completely different productions before being recorded. At the time, it
Was not considered for release as a single record. Fortunately, a disc
Jockey in Ohio took it upon himself to cause a regional breakout.

Verse 2:
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 what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours
