Someone to Watch over Me
In Search of Love's Guardian: Someone to Watch over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often described as blind, a common belief.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Expressing the idea that seeking love leads to finding it.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Searching for a specific person she has in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, the person hasn't been found yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the person as a significant and unforgettable part of her life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
He is the only man she regrets thinking about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to connect with him, perhaps by sharing a monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the guiding figure or protector is for someone lost like her.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing longing to see a specific person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopeful that the person she longs to see will be a positive presence.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will look out for her.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Using imagery of a lost lamb in the woods to convey vulnerability.
I know I could always be good
Believing that she can be good if guided by the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over her.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that he may not fit societal standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Addressing the perception of physical appearance by others.
To my heart he carries the key
Emphasizing the person's importance to her heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging someone to ask him to move quickly.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Asking for support and guidance, expressing a deep need.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over her.
