David Cassidy - Cherish (1972) by David Cassidy (보컬) on maniadb.com

Our being together is always
A very big deal to me.
Us taking some time from our daily routines
Only means that we care
And we wanted to share for a while
A tear or a smile.
Give part of ourselves to somebody else.

And our being together is always
So honest and real to me.
Us both saying "Yes, I'm aware that you're there"
Goes to show how you know
When somebody loves you so.

Being together is my kind of fun.
Learning your ups and your downs
Is my dance in the sun.
And if someone asked me
What I needed to count on
To make me as happy as I've ever been
It would be our being together again.

I'm just a tambourine man,
A lonely one man street band.
So many people near me,
Won't someone stop and hear me?
Street light, shine bright
You are my only spotlight.

Only wanna make you happy
When I sing I'll make you happy.
Won't you let me sing my songs for you?

My songs they sound much better
when people start to gather.
I play for dimes and pennies,
But if you haven't any,
don't mind. Showtime!
I'll make you smile in no time

Only wanna make you happy
When I sing I'll make you happy.
Won't you let me sing my songs for you?

Here on the corner
Where I sing and play,
Where I'm the biggest star they've seen today.
And that's good enough for me,
And that's what I wanna be.

Only wanna make you happy
When I sing I'll make you happy.
Won't you let me sing my songs for you?

Could it be forever
Or is my mind just rambling on
Well I touched you once and I kissed you once
And now I feel like you're mine

Well I feel like you're mine and I see in your face
I'm not wrong to have these feelings
Well I feel like you're mine, I've never known a time before
That's had so many meanings

Could it be forever
Or am I just wasting time
Well I don't think so because you let me know
You make me feel like you're mine

Well I feel like you're mine and I can't remember
When the feelings have been stronger
And all I know is I can't let go
I wanna be with you I wanna be with you just a little while longer

All my feelings come together
All of me is here
Never know when I felt better
Cause I know this won't disappear

But

Could it be forever or is my mind just rambling on
Well maybe it is and if it is
Well then I'll be moving along

Well I feel like you're mine
And I see in your face I'm not wrong to have these feelings
Well I feel like you're mine and I've never known a time before
That's had so many meanings

Look baby, the sun is shining high
It's already on top of the sky.
And I've been wishin' I could fly away with you.
Yes I do feel the dark inside this room.
We must think of something soon
The dreamy afternoon is nothing to rely on.
We won't get by on blind hope.
And someday, someday, somehow,
Things will pass our way.

So come one wake up! Get out!
Feel the morning dew
We've still time to start something new.
And baby, there's a few more things
Left to do.
All through life
We've been needin' to win this race.
Unlock your allotted space.
Outside there is this place we can begin.
Don't you believe in blind hope?
And someday, someday, somehow,
Things will pass our way.

I had my chance
But now you're leaving with another man
Baby I've got to try and make you understand
If I can, If I can

Baby I'm sorry I needed some time to grow
I've got it all straight now
Baby believe me it's not what it seems to be
And if you me now
I know I lost my chance

You said goodbye
But I can't let something I believe in die
Can't you see how I'm feeling way down deep inside
Can you see, can't you see?

Baby I'm sorry I needed some time to grow
I've got it all straight now
Baby believe me it's not what it seems to be
And if you me now
I know I lost my chance

So please don't go
Look at all the love we've got to show
Don't you know that I'm always gonna love you so
Don't you know, don't you know

Baby I'm sorry I needed some time to grow
I've got it all straight now
Baby believe me it's not what it seems to be
And if you me now
I know I lost my chance

There's an aching in my head
From this bed I can't get used to
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
As I spend my first night alone without you

Half of me has gone away
Gone the love I learned to cling to
Tomorrow I'll have to find a way
To live the rest of my life alone without you

You taught me how to live
To be myself
And how to give
Oh, and now it's you
Who's given up on giving

You lost the things, no one could teach
You changed and now you're out of reach
And life tonight, ooh life tonight, doesn't seem worth living

Sitting learning how to read
Back in school I never liked to
It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need
As I put my life together now without you

You taught me how to live
To be myself
And how to give
Oh, and now it's you
Who's given up on giving

You lost the things, no one could teach
You changed and now you're out of reach
And life tonight, ooh life tonight, doesn't seem worth living

I can't sleep tonight
I've found someone
You smiled at me and said
You were free and I was alone

Would we meet again
You needn't have asked
I'll wait for you at dawn
If this night will only pass

But the clock hands refuse to move
It's dark inside my room
It must be daylight soon
Where is the morning?

I can't believe all my dismay
Just had to pack and leave
When at last you looked my way

And so to bed but not to sleep
It's only morning light
That will end this watch I keep

But the stars shine across the land
Don't seem to understand
How things get out of hand
Where is the morning?

But the clock hands refuse to move
It's dark inside my room
It must be daylight soon
Where is the morning?
Where is the morning?
Where is the morning?

See the funny little clown, see the puppet on a string
Wind him up, he'll sing, give him candy and he'll dance
But be certain not to feel that his funny face is real

Step right up and see him folks, couldn't you die at all his jokes
Couldn't you cry at all the tricks, he'll come up with in a fix
But be certain not to stray 'cause he'll steal your heart away

I am a clown, I am a clown, clown
You'll always see me smile, you'll never see me frown
Sometimes my scenes are good, sometimes they're bad
Not funny, ha-ha, funny sad

I am a clown, look at the clown, clown
Always a laughing face whenever you're around
Always the same routine, I never change
Not funny, ho-ho, funny strange

Sometimes I think the world is a circus town
Sometimes I feel like a lonely inside show
Man on the flying trapeze, he ain't never comin' down
He knows what I know if you look inside
If I didn't hide, you might decide you don't want me

I am a clown, that's why I'm a clown, clown
Just like the fool on the hill beggin' to come down
I want to live again, oh, I want to feel
Tell me you love me, make me real
Tell me you love me, make me real
Tell me you love me, make me real

See the funny little clown, see the puppet on a string
Wind him up and he will sing, give him candy, he will dance
But be certain not to feel if his funny face is real

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 wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times
I 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 going to be the one
To share your dreams
That I am not going to be the one
To share your schemes
That I am not going to be the one
To share what seems to be the life
That you could cherish me 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're driving 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 say they'd love 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
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times
I wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times
I wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times
I wished that I could mold you into someone
That could cherish me as much as I cherish you

And I do
Cherish you
And I do
I cherish you
Yes I do
I cherish you

Are you sleeping my baby?
Just close your eyes and let me run away.
Now, don't cha cry.
I am leaving my sweet baby.
I've been in love with one who's far away.
I can't live a lie.
I've got something inside of me you know I can't hide
And each day since I left her
She's been on my mind.
So take care of yourself and my, my Ricky besides
He's the best friend I had.
I guess this is good-bye.

Are you weeping my baby?
I let you down but I just cannot stay.
I can't live a lie.
Now I am leaving my sweet baby.
I got my ticket, it won't pass me by.
I can't live a lie.
I've got something inside of me you know I can't hide
And each day since I left her
She's been on my mind.
So take care of yourself and my, my Ricky besides
He's the best friend I had.
I guess this is good-bye,
This is good bye.
I guess this is goodbye.
