Someone to Watch Over Me
Yearning Heart's Quest: Finding Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love can be oblivious to faults or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizing the common advice to actively search for love.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Deciding to pursue a specific person of interest.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Actively looking for the person but not finding them yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the person as a significant and unforgettable part of life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Regretting that this person is the only one thought about with remorse.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to connect with the person on a deeper, personal level.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance in finding the right person, comparing oneself to a lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong longing to meet someone special.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person being sought will meet expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will care for and protect the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Comparing oneself to a lost lamb in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the intention to be good for the person who watches over them.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to protect and care for the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the sought-after person may not fit societal standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting that external appearances are not as important as the person's significance to the speaker.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolizing the person as holding the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requesting the person to hurry in approaching the speaker.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Asking the person to follow the speaker's lead and expressing a strong need for their presence.
Someone to watch over me
Summing up the longing for someone to protect and watch over the speaker.
