[Verse 1]
Thinking back in time
Someone said that love was blind
But they were wrong
You just choose to not see
When it's right before your eyes
You'd rather compromise than give it all
Then it don't turn out the way it's supposed to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Then time and time again
You disappoint when she believes
Just do your best and give her what she needs

[Chorus]
And cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone (She's gone)
Cherish her love

[Verse 2]
It might be hard to conceive
You gotta see the forest despite the trees
Before it all burns down
Not telling you nothing you don't know
But she'll let you have your fun
But when a woman's done she's done
And then she'll go
Just when you're needing her the most

[Pre-Chorus]
Time and time again
You disappoint when she believes, oh yeah
Do all you can to give her what she needs

[Chorus]
Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone (She's gone)
Cherish her love

[Bridge]
And if you care about the weather
Keep her safe and warm
Let nothing in between stand in your way
They say it's calm inside the eye of the storm
Together come whatever, come what may

[Chorus]
Just cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone (She's gone)
Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone (She's gone)
Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone (She's gone)
Cherish her love, cherish her love
Cherish her love, cherish her love (She's gone)
Cherish her love
