Someone to Watch Over Me
Yearning Hearts: A Search for Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often said to overlook flaws or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
We're advised that if we search, we'll eventually find what we seek.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The singer is determined to find a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching extensively, they haven't found the person yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
This person holds significant importance and impact on the singer's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only person the singer regrets or feels sorrow about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The singer wishes to associate this person's initial with their own, symbolizing a desire for a close relationship.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the guiding or protective figure for them could be found.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a deep longing to meet someone.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hoping that this person lives up to the singer's expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will care for and protect the singer.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Feeling lost and vulnerable.
I know I could always be good
Believing they could behave well under proper guidance.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to look out for them.
Although he may not be the man some
Despite not fitting conventional ideals, this person is special to the singer.
Girls think of as handsome
Contrasting others' perceptions of attractiveness with the singer's feelings.
To my heart he carries the key
This person has a significant emotional connection with the singer.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging someone to encourage this person to act quickly.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requesting support and guidance from the person they're seeking.
Someone to watch over me
Expressing the strong need for someone to protect and care for them.
