Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Hearts: The Search for Unforgettable Love
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the belief that love can be oblivious to faults or shortcomings.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouraging the idea that one can find love by actively searching for it.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Deciding to actively seek a specific person who has been on the mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Searching extensively for the person but hasn't found them yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Referring to the person as a significant and unforgettable experience.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret about the only man ever thought of.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desiring a connection to the person, perhaps through a monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance in finding the right person.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong longing to meet a particular somebody.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person being sought will be desirable.
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
Portraying oneself as a vulnerable and lost individual.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the willingness to be good for the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over and care for the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the sought-after person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting the importance of the person to the speaker's heart.
To my heart he carries the key
Metaphorically suggesting that the person holds the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging the person to hurry and respond to the speaker's need.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Asking the person to follow the speaker's lead, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the need for someone to watch over the speaker.
