Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning for Guardianship: Seeking Love's Sentinel
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Introducing the theme that love is often considered blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Despite love being blind, there's a belief that if you search, you'll find.
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
Despite looking everywhere, the person has not been found yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
The person in question is a significant memory that cannot be forgotten.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret for thinking only of this person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to add the person's initial to personal belongings.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking about the whereabouts of someone who can guide and protect.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to see a particular somebody.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person being sought will meet expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will take care and watch over the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Metaphorically describing oneself as a lost lamb in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing a willingness to be good if watched over.
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 sought person may not fit conventional standards of handsomeness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting that the person's qualities go beyond physical appearance.
To my heart he carries the key
Emphasizing the person's significance to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requesting the person to hasten and follow the speaker's lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a strong need for someone to guide and lead.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
