Cherish the Day Lyrics
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
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
[Outro]
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day
I cherish the day

Sade claimed this as her favourite song from ‘Love Deluxe’ in a 1992 interview with Red Bull Academy:
I just like it. I think it’s really quite deep, but at the same time it’s a love song. It’s funny, most of the songs I can’t tell you if I really like them or not; it’s really hard to be objective about it. But, “Cherish the Day,” I know if I heard it on the radio I would say, “God, this is good. Who is this?” The rest of them, I don’t know.
