Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Hearts: Seeking a Love to Stand By
Lyrics
There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Love is often described as blind, a well-known saying.
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
Despite love being blind, there's a belief that actively seeking it will lead to finding it.
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 the person is ongoing but hasn't been successful so far.
He's the big affair I cannot forget
The person being sought is a significant and unforgettable figure in the speaker's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
This person is the only one the speaker regrets not being with.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The speaker wants to incorporate the person's initial into her monogram, indicating a desire for a close connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
The speaker is asking for guidance in finding this person, referring to herself as a lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet a particular somebody.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopeful that the sought person will be someone special.
Someone who'll watch over me
The speaker wishes for someone who will care for and protect her.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing herself as a vulnerable and lost individual.
I know I could always be good
The speaker believes she can be good if someone watches over her.
To one who'll watch over me
Expressing a willingness to be good for the person who watches over her.
Although he may not be the man
Acknowledging that the sought person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Some girls think of as handsome
Highlighting that physical appearance is not the key factor; the person holds the key to her heart.
To my heart he carries the key
The person being sought has a significant role in the speaker's emotions and life.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Asking the person to hurry and respond to her feelings.
Follow my lead
Requesting the person to follow her lead, indicating a desire for a connection.
Oh how I need
Expressing a strong need for someone to watch over her.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to protect and care for her.
Someone to watch over me
Emphasizing the ongoing need for someone to watch over her.
