Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Hearts: In Search of Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often considered to be oblivious to flaws or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouragement to actively search for love with the expectation of finding it.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intent to pursue a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching extensively, the person has not yet found the one they seek.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Referring to the person as a significant and unforgettable part of their life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret about the only man they think of with remorse.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desire to incorporate the person's initial into a monogram, suggesting a desire for a lasting connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the protector or guide is for someone feeling lost and vulnerable.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet a particular person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hope that the person they long to see will live up to their expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desire for someone to look out for and protect them.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Metaphorically describing oneself as a lost lamb in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the belief that they can be good with the right guidance.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to watch over and protect them.
Although he may not be the man some
Recognizing that the sought-after person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Addressing societal perceptions of physical appearance.
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
Urging the person to hasten their response or commitment.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requesting the person to follow their lead and expressing a deep need for their presence.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the longing for someone to protect and watch over them.
