Analysis of To Cherish The Moments



With you I cherish the moments,
The ones that I lived for,
The moment that I set eyes on you,
When you walked through my door,

First I saw your eyes,
Smiling as they were,
My heart skipped a beat,
I really saw no cure,

Secondly it was your smile,
The nicest one seen yet,
Upon my bed I rested,
Upon my chair you set,

I cherish every moment,
No one can take them from me,
Moments that cannot be stolen,
I keep in my heart you see.
