Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Hearts: A Quest for Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love is often irrational and oblivious to flaws.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouraging the notion that seeking love will lead to finding it.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intent to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Describing the ongoing search for the person without success.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Referring to the person as a significant and unforgettable experience.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret about the person and their impact.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desiring to incorporate the person's initial into one's monogram, symbolizing a connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance in finding the person, using the metaphor of a lost lamb and a shepherd.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet a particular person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person turns out to be favorable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will provide protection and care.
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 a willingness to be good or obedient for the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to watch over and protect.
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 that the person holds the key to the speaker's heart despite external judgments.
To my heart he carries the key
Requesting the person to hurry and follow, emphasizing urgency in being together.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Asking the person to follow the speaker's lead, emphasizing the need for guidance.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a profound need for someone to watch over and provide support.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the central theme of longing for someone to watch over the speaker.
