Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Heart's Quest: Seeking a Guardian of Love
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love is often oblivious to faults or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizing the common advice that if you actively seek, you will find love.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Deciding to search for a specific person the singer has in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Actively looking everywhere but not yet finding the person sought.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the person as a significant and unforgettable part of the singer's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Regretting that this person is the only one the singer thinks of with remorse.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to incorporate the person's initial into a personal monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance to find the "shepherd" or protector for the lost singer.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Highlighting anticipation and eagerness to meet a specific person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing a hope that the person being sought will meet the singer's expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will care for and protect the singer.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Portraying the singer as a vulnerable and lost individual.
I know I could always be good
Asserting the singer's willingness to be good for the person who watches over them.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to provide protection and care.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the sought person may not fit society's conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Suggesting that the person's inner qualities are more important than external appearance.
To my heart he carries the key
Attributing significance to the person as the key to the singer's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Pleading for the person to hasten their approach and follow the singer's lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a strong need for someone to guide and protect the singer.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the central theme of desiring someone to watch over and protect the singer.
