Someone to Watch Over Me
Yearning for Love: A Quest in Melody
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
There is a common saying that suggests love is blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
We are frequently advised to actively search for love.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The speaker is determined to find a specific person she has in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, she has not found the person yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
This person is a significant memory that she cannot forget.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only man she regrets and thinks about is this person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
She wishes to incorporate his initial into her monogram, suggesting a desire for a connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the protector or guide is for someone feeling lost (lost lamb).
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to see a particular person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hoping that the person she longs to see will turn out to be someone special.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will care for and protect her.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing herself as a lost and vulnerable individual.
I know I could always be good
Confident that she could always be good with the right person watching over her.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over and care for her.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the person she seeks may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Contrasting the person's qualities with what other girls might find handsome.
To my heart he carries the key
Emphasizing the person's importance by stating he holds the key to her heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Pleading for the person to hasten their approach and follow her lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a deep need for someone to guide and protect her.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over her, emphasizing the need for protection and care.
