Someone to Watch Over Me
Yearning for Guardian Love: Kathy Kirby's Someone to Watch Over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often believed to overlook flaws or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouragement to actively search for love, suggesting it can be found.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The singer is determined to find a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching extensively, the person hasn't been found yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
The person being sought is a significant and unforgettable love interest.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only person the singer regrets or feels sorrowful about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desire to personalize things with the sought person's initial.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Expressing a need for guidance or direction from someone special.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet a specific person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hope that the person lives up to the singer's expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desire for someone who will protect or care for the singer.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Feeling lost and vulnerable.
I know I could always be good
Confidence in being good with the right guidance.
Someone who'll watch over me
Seeking a guardian or protector.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledgment that the sought-after person might not fit societal standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting that appearance isn't the primary concern for the singer.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolic representation of the person's significance to the singer's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging the person to hurry and respond to the singer's need for them.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requesting the person to follow the singer's lead due to desperation.
Someone to watch over me
Expressing a strong desire for someone to protect and care for the singer.
