Someone to Watch Over Me
Seeking Love's Guardian: A Yearning for Protection
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often described as blind, a common saying.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouragement to actively search for love.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intent to find a particular person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, the person has not been found yet.
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
Regretting not being with anyone else but this person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to be linked or associated with the person.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking about the person who can guide or care for the speaker.
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
Hoping that the person turns out to be desirable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone to watch over and protect the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing oneself as a lost and vulnerable individual.
I know I could always be good
Believing that with guidance, the speaker can be good.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to watch over and care for the speaker.
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 true value goes beyond physical appearance.
To my heart he carries the key
Emphasizing the person's importance to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requesting the person to hurry and respond to the speaker's needs.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Asking the person to follow the speaker's lead, expressing a deep need for guidance.
Someone to watch over me
Summing up the longing for someone to watch over the speaker.
