Lyrics

There's a saying old says that love is blind

Love is often described as blind, a well-known saying.

Still were often told, seek and ye shall find

Despite the saying, one must actively seek to find love.

So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

The speaker is looking for a specific person.

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

The speaker has been searching everywhere for this person.


Hes the big affair I cannot forget

The person in question is a significant and unforgettable part of the speaker's life.

Only man I ever think of with regret

The speaker only regrets not being with this particular person.

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

The speaker wants a tangible connection with the person, even symbolically.

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

The speaker seeks guidance or companionship, likening themselves to a lost lamb.


There's a somebody I'm longing to see

The speaker is eagerly anticipating meeting someone special.

I hope that he turns out to be

The speaker hopes that this person they long to see will be the one they desire.

Someone who'll watch over me

Desire for someone who will protect and care for the speaker.

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood

The speaker sees themselves as a vulnerable, lost lamb in need of guidance.

I know I could always be good

The speaker believes they can be good with the right person watching over them.

Someone who'll watch over me

Reiteration of the desire for someone to watch over and protect the speaker.


Although he may not be the man some

Admits that the desired person may not fit societal standards of attractiveness.

Girls think of as handsome

Acknowledges that beauty is subjective.

To my heart he carries the key

The person holds the key to the speaker's heart and emotions.

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed

The speaker implores the desired person to act quickly and follow their lead.

Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Expresses a strong need for someone to guide and lead the speaker.

Someone to watch over me

The ongoing plea for someone to watch over and protect the speaker.
