Someone to Watch Over Me
In Search of Love's Guiding Light
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often described as being blind, an age-old saying.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
There's a common belief that if you actively look for something, you will find it.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The singer is determined to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite looking everywhere, the person sought has not been found yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
The person being sought is a significant and unforgettable part of the singer's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
This person is the only one the singer regrets and thinks about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The singer desires to incorporate the sought person's initial into their monogram, symbolizing a connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
The singer asks where the shepherd (protector) is for this lost lamb (themselves).
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to see a specific somebody.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hoping that the person they long to see will turn out to be favorable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone to watch over and protect the singer.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing oneself as a lost lamb in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the belief that they could be good with the right guidance.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to watch over and care for the singer.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the sought person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Suggesting that the person's true value goes beyond mere physical appearance.
To my heart he carries the key
Highlighting the person's importance to the singer's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging the person to hurry and follow the singer's lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a strong need for the sought person to provide guidance.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the longing for someone to watch over and protect the singer.
