Someone to Watch over Me
Longing for Love: A Search for the Heart's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often described as blind, according to an old saying.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Despite being told to seek love, the speaker hasn't found it yet.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The speaker is actively searching for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
The search for this person is ongoing, with no success so far.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
The person in mind is a significant and unforgettable part of the speaker's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only man the speaker regrets thinking about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The desire to include this person's initial in the speaker's monogram suggests a desire for a close connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the guiding figure is for someone lost and vulnerable.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong longing to see a particular somebody.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopeful that this person will turn out to be desirable and fulfilling.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will protect and care for the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
The speaker feels like a lost and innocent creature in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing a willingness to be good for the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the person may not fit society's standard of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting the importance of this person to the speaker's heart.
To my heart he carries the key
Requesting the person to hurry and join the speaker, emphasizing urgency.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Asking the person to follow the speaker's lead, expressing a need for guidance.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a strong need for someone to watch over the speaker.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the speaker's need for a guardian or protector.
