Cherish the Day

This song is one of the many that Sade and her band made that can be interpreted in several ways. As a spiritual song of communion; as a song of devotion to the chosen one; as a song of remembrance and re-commitment to the past/future/present. But again; her band should get just as much credit in this song as in many others in the same way that Chaka Khan and Rufus had undeniable harmony.

[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] 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 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] Cherish the Day I won't go astray I won't be afraid You won't catch me running Cherish the Day I won't go astray I won't be afraid Won't run away [Bridge] You show me how deep love can be You show me how deep love can be This is my prayer [Chorus] Cherish the Day I won't go astray I won't be afraid Won't run away Won't shy Cherish the Day I won't go astray I Cherish the Day I Cherish the Day I Cherish the Day I Cherish the Day I Cherish the Day
