Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often considered blind, according to an old saying.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
The belief that if you actively search for something, you will find it.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intent to search for a specific person who has been on the speaker's mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
The speaker is still in the process of searching for this person without success so far.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Referring to the person as a significant and unforgettable part of the speaker's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only man the speaker regrets, suggesting a past romantic involvement.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to incorporate the person's initial into a monogram, a symbol of personal connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see

I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing a hope that the person being sought turns out to be desirable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will provide care and protection for the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing the speaker as a vulnerable entity lost in the complexities of life.
I know I could always be good
The speaker believes they could be good with the right guidance and protection.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone who will watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the sought-after person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting that the person's appearance is not as important as their significance to the speaker.
To my heart he carries the key
The person holds the key to the speaker's heart and emotions.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requesting the person to hurry and respond to the speaker's emotional needs.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Someone to watch over me
