Cherish Lyrics » Madonna
[Intro]
Cherish, cherish
[Verse 1]
So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance
You are my destiny
I can’t let go, baby, can’t you see?
Cupid, please take your aim at me
[Chorus]
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby, I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I’m always singing it, cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby, I perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would
[Verse 2]
I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can’t hide my need
For two hearts that bleed
With burning love
That’s the way it’s got to be
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don’t underestimate my point of view

About Madonna’s Cherish from Like a Prayer (1989)
“Cherish” is the third single off
Like a Prayer
. It
peaked at #2
on the Billboard Hot 100 and got a few top tens around the world.
Constructed as a
doo-wop
style song, it surprised the critics for its light-hearted lyrical content. Inspired by Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet
, the track includes a line from
The Association
’s 1966 song, “
Cherish
”.
Herb Ritts
directed the song’s music video, which was shot in Malibu, California. Filmed in black and white, Madonna is seen playing with mermen at the beach. Academics noted that the mermen became symbols for the homosexual community and the oppression it faced.
In
Madonna: An Intimate Biography
, J. Randy Taraborrelli elaborated on the song:
‘Cherish’ was a particular triumph for the Madonna/Patrick Leonard partnership. A delightful confection of radio-ready proportions, the song had it all—strong, positive, remarkably dysfunction-free lyrics about love, a memorable, singalong vocal melody, and a tight, pungent rhythm arrangement. It remains, quite simply, one of the best songs Madonna has ever written; sweet and happy, but by no means corny, it’s a perfectly constructed pop song which Madonna delivered beautifully, and with undeniably sassy charm.

Who is behind the music video?
The music video for “Cherish” was the brainchild of
Herb Ritts
, and accomplished American fashion photographer in the 1980s and 1990s. Ritts became known for the iconic “Cherish” video, and went on to direct the music video for
Chris Isaak
’s
“Wicked Game”
, which was very similar to the “Cherish” one.
The video was shot in Paradise Cove, Malibu, California and featured mermen and introduced Ritts’ signature style of the black-and-white beach aesthetic.
What did Madonna say about the success of “Cherish”?
I’ve never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I’ve written, like ‘Cherish’…a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits.
