Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
The time is passing by
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Oh
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
Oh-whoa, yeah
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Baby
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
[Verse 2]
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?
[PreChorus]
I often pray before I lay down by your side
And if you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
Ooh yeah
We should cherish the life we live
Baby yeah
Cherish the love
Mmm hmm
Cherish the life
Oh yeah
Cherish the love
Oh oh
[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
While we're together
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
[Verse 3]
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
[Chorus]
Cherish the love we have
Every night, when I think about you
For as long as we both shall live
I pray that our dreams will come true
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Yes I do
Cherish the love
Oh-whoa, it's nice
[Outro]
Cherish the love we have
Let's cherish every moment we have together
We should cherish the life we live
Hand in hand, you and I
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Baby
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
Woo hoo, oh yeah, yeah
For as long as we both shall live
Ooh baby
