Lyrics

Cherish the Day (Live 2001)

[Verse 1]

You're ruling the way that I move

And I breathe your air

You only can rescue me

This is my prayer

If you were mine

If you were mine

I wouldn't want to go to heaven

[Chorus]

I cherish the day

I won't go astray

I won't be afraid

You won't catch me running

You're ruling the way that I move

You take my air

[Bridge]

You show me how deep love can be

[Verse 2]

You're ruling the way that I move

And I breathe your air

You only can rescue me

This is my prayer

[Chorus]

I cherish the day

I won't go astray

I won't be afraid

You won't catch me running

I cherish the day

I won't go astray

I won't be afraid

Won't run away

(I won't, I won't)

[Bridge]

You show me how deep love can be

You show me how deep love can be

This is my prayer

[Chorus]

I cherish the day

I won't go astray

I won't be afraid

Won't run away

Won't shy

I cherish the day

I won't go astray

I won't be afraid, no

As long as I'm here with you

[Outro]

I cherish the day

I cherish the day

I cherish the day

I cherish the day

I cherish the day

I cherish the day

I cherish the day

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Cherish the day

Oh yeah

[Outro dialogue]

Thank you, thank you

Especially in these times, I feel really privileged to be up here on this stage

And to sing for you is a real privilege
