Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Hearts: A Quest for Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
There's a common belief that love can be blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
People are often advised to actively search for love.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The speaker is determined to find a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, the person hasn't been found yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
The person being sought is a significant and unforgettable part of the speaker's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The speaker regrets thinking about anyone else but this particular person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The speaker desires a connection with this person, even symbolically through a monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
The speaker is asking where the guiding influence or protector is for someone lost and vulnerable.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
There's someone the speaker is eagerly anticipating meeting.
I hope that he turns out to be
The speaker hopes that this person will be the one they desire.
Someone who'll watch over me
The speaker is looking for someone to care for and protect them.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
The speaker feels lost and vulnerable, like a little lamb in the woods.
I know I could always be good
The speaker believes they can be good with the right guidance.
Someone who'll watch over me
The speaker is still searching for someone to watch over them.
Although he may not be the man some
Even if the sought person doesn't fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
The speaker emphasizes the emotional connection over physical appearance.
To my heart he carries the key
This person holds the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
A plea to the listener to convey the urgency of the situation to the sought person.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
An appeal for the sought person to follow the speaker's lead and provide the needed protection.
Someone to watch over me
A reiterated desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
