Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore
hand in hand, you and I.
Let's cherish every moment we have been given
for time is passing by.
I often pray before I lay down by your side;
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night?
Cherish the love we have
we should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love, cherish the life

The world is always changing
nothing stays the same
But love will stand the test of time.
The next life that we live in remains to be seen
Will you be by my side?
I often pray before I lay down by your side;
Cherish the love we have
we should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
cherish the life

Cherish the love we have - every night when I think about you -
For as long as we both shall live -
I pray that my dream will come true
yes I do - cherish the love.
Cherish the love we have -
We have cherished ev'ry moment we have had together -
We should cherish the life we live - hand in hand
you and I -
Cherish the love we have for as long as we both shall live.

-Cherish, Kool and the Gang
