This song has very fond memories for me. Michael, my first love, was sent to Vietnam in 1969 and we were going to be married once he returned, he would sing this song to me when it played, Michael (God rest) never returned from Vietnam, killed in action. Each time I hear this song it is as though he is singing it to me from his "soul spirit."
This was my girlfriend's and my song back in the day. We were childhood sweethearts and the first time we listened to the song she was 14 and I was 15. We used to play the album over and over on an old record player in her basement in 1966, but the song that meant the most to us was Cherish. Over the years, every time I've heard that song those first few notes are almost magical in the way they take me back. They take me back to a time when two young teenagers were so head over heels in love with each other that most other things in the world didn't seem to matter. When I look back it seems like a lifetime ago and thats probably because it was. We ended up going together all through high school, got engaged, got married, and we celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary on Sept. 30th, 2023. Cherish is just as special when I listen to it today as it was when I listened to it all those years ago. "Cherish is the word I use to describe." "All the feelings that I have hiding here for you inside." "And I do, cherish you." I love you Kathy.
I was age 14 when this song was a #1 hit in 1966. It speaks of love locked away in one's heart. A very poignant song. I first heard it on WLS Chicago radio, and I have the 45.
In 1966 I first heard it from KELI AM Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was in the 7th grade then. It wasn't till the late Summer of 1970. When this Song hit home in me...I cried over ♡Her♡...
I was listening to this song and how much it reminds me of a guy who still remains in my heart. His grandpa met an untimely death and just with in a short time, two more people died just in a few short months after his grandpa's passing. During this time, we had talked about getting married and having children. We grew apart after the last two deaths. I still miss him to this very day.
I love this song though i was just born when this song was released. Why i love this song it is because its where I've got my name Cherish. Thanks to my aunt Ruth who'd named me with this song. 😘
I met my husband we seen each other for three days. I really enjoyed being with him but than I didn’t see him again. This song was in my heart. Than. 6 months later he was at the bar a group of us girls always danced at.. I heard his voice say hay you. My heart skipped an eat turned around a there he stood. We were married for 52 years before God called him home. I miss him still deeply it’s been almost six years for ever my love
This has been my number ONE SONG since I was a teenager in the Sixties when I just knew it applied to me and it still always has. Oh well, too bad for me. Maybe in the next life.
My favorite song when I was in high school with my school sweetheart 💕 We were planning to spend our lives together but things came along we moved far away and south east Asia arose so I joined the service . Today have feelings for her and we talk ever so often.
The song was brilliantly written, arranged, sung, and performed, not to mention that it's just hauntingly beautiful! The further you get into the song the better it gets. I'm not satisfied until I hear those falsetto ooooo's in the background at 2:38!
I’ve ‘always’ loved this song. With my 4th baby was having difficulty choosing a name. Choose Cherish Dawn, she is one of the most cheerful kind people you’ll ever meet, I’m not saying that because she’s mine.
Remember this song like it was yesterday, eighth grade dance, boys on one side of the room girls on the opposite side. Each girl being asked to dance and a few left behind to stand alone. I was one of them, how I longed to be asked to dance but never happened. What a memory.
Carol - Time’s wasting. Put it on the music machine, TURN IT UP, go out on the front porch, and dance with your man! Don’t have one, dance with the broom, and make it WANT you! Do it, girl!
I remember when my uncle gave us his old pc. And this is song is one in his Playlist downloaded. It was 17 years ago and i'm 6 years old that time. It's been a long journey tryna look for this song.
My sister gave me her album when i was about 7yo. I lost her in a accident 6 years ago. I had no idea how much it could hurt to be without my big sissy. She was so beautiful and genuine. Cherish your loved ones.
This is another song I liked, sitting around a campfire in the infield of a sports car road course on a summer Saturday evening. Like most of my favorites, the words---often lacking in other songs since then---and music told a beautiful story. Listening to this, I can close my eyes and remember relaxing after a day on the track, with hands and feet steering, changing gears up and down, with the song of high-revving engines all around. Peace and contentment before the contest for the checkered flag and, hopefully, a trophy and Championship points the next day. Thanks for posting this, Chris.
Oldenweery Love your comment I felt as though I was racing in the car with you at the track. Also love this song. Merry Christmas from an old lady in Australia🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
So sad but true, love is hard. Relationship is hard. Being yourself is easy. Words is very hard to explain and things you want out of life. Enjoy the life.
Traditional wedding vows tell us to love and cherish each other until death do we part. We are to love each other for better and for worse, in richness and in health. Too bad these vows aren't taken seriously. It would feel so go to be cherished. We can start teaching our children and grandchild the basics of love and of God, who loves and cherish es us unconditionally. John 3:16. For God so loved the world He gave His only Son,and who so ever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

This song disturbs me 😢😢 I witnessed something horrible when I was a little girl and this song was playing while the thing that destroyed so many happened
I like the melody, the harmony, and the song's theme of unrequited love, but the line about wanting to "mold her into someone" hasn't aged well. It has the creepy feel of a man wanting to control a woman.
