Someone To Watch Over Me
Longing for Guardian Angel: Keith Jarrett's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Introduction to a common saying that suggests love is blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizes the idea that seeking will lead to finding.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expresses the intention to search for a particular person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Acknowledges the ongoing search without success so far.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Highlights the significant impact of a past relationship.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Regrets not being with anyone else but this person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expresses a desire to personalize things with the person's initial.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Poses a question about finding guidance or support.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expresses a strong desire to meet someone special.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopes that the person being sought is the right one.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desires someone to watch over and care for the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Portrays the speaker as vulnerable and in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Commits to being good for the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterates the longing for someone to watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledges that the sought-after person may not fit societal standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Recognizes that external beauty is not the speaker's primary concern.
To my heart he carries the key
Describes the person as having access to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requests the person to hasten their response or arrival.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Asks for the person to follow the speaker's lead, expressing a strong need for companionship.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterates the desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
