Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning for Guardian Love: Someone to Watch over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old
Introducing a traditional saying
Says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love is blind
Still we're often told
Acknowledging a commonly heard sentiment
Seek and you shall find
Encouraging the act of seeking to find love
So I'm gonna seek a certain girl
Expressing the intent to seek a specific girl
I've had in mind
Referring to a girl in the speaker's thoughts
Looking everywhere
Expressing the search for the girl everywhere
Haven't found her yet
Not having found the girl yet
She's the big affair
Referring to the girl as a significant affair
I cannot forget
Stating the girl is unforgettable
Only one I ever think of
Describing the girl as the only one in the speaker's thoughts
With regret
Expressing regret about the girl
I'd like to add her initials
Expressing a desire to include the girl's initials in the speaker's monogram
To my monogram
Pondering about the identity of a shepherdess in relation to the lost lamb (speaker)
Tell me who is this shepherdess
Questioning the identity of a certain person
To this lost lamb?
Comparing the speaker to a lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to meet
Expressing a longing to meet someone
I hope that she turns out to be
Expressing hope about the character of the person to be met
Someone to watch over me
Expressing a desire for someone to watch over the speaker
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods
Describing the speaker as a lost lamb in the woods
I know I could always be good
Acknowledging the potential to be good to someone who watches over the speaker
To one who'll watch over me
Expressing a desire for someone to watch over the speaker
Although she may not be the girl
Considering the attractiveness of the girl to others
Some men think of as pretty
Highlighting the importance of the girl to the speaker's heart
To my heart she carries the key
Attributing a significant role to the girl in the speaker's life
Won't you tell her please to
Requesting the recipient to ask the girl to hurry
Put on some speed
Encouraging the girl to follow the speaker's lead
Follow my lead
Expressing a need for the girl to act quickly
Oh how I need
Emphasizing the speaker's need for someone to watch over
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over the speaker
Someone to watch over me
Repeating the desire for someone to watch over the speaker
