Someone to Watch over Me
Longing for Love: A Musical Quest
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love can be irrational or overlook flaws.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouraging the pursuit of love with the belief that it will be found.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intention to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Not having found the person yet despite searching everywhere.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the person as a significant and unforgettable romantic interest.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Regretfully thinking only of this person and no one else.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to include the person's initial in personal symbolism.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the guiding figure is for someone feeling lost and vulnerable.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to see a specific person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person lives up to expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone to care for and protect the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Portraying oneself as a vulnerable and lost individual.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the willingness to be good if cared for.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting the importance of the person to the speaker's heart.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolizing the person as having the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Pleading for the person to respond quickly to the speaker's needs.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requesting the person to follow the speaker's lead in the relationship.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to watch over the speaker.
