Barry Manilow with The Association - Cherish/Windy (w/ Lyrics)

The Association - Cherish/Windy found on the album "The Greatest Songs Of The Sixties' by Barry Manilow

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 the 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 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 little 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
(You don't how many times I've wished I could mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you)
Above the clouds
Above the clouds
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)

@JanelleWithU

Ahh,he also had Lorna Luft with him too.She sang just one song."Straight with no chaser" were brilliant too.

We had a great time.

[JanelleWithU]

@tillieanne76 Sorry for my late reply. I'm just learning this YouTube stuff & just saw your comment now. No, he was on his own, no one opening with him, & just a terrific band backing him, including 3 other guys on keyboard. At one point they walk in a circle around one piano and take turns doing solos -- fun! I think it takes a very generous, humble, beautiful person to share the spotlight with other pianists like that.

Excellent.
