Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning for Love's Guardian: A Melodic Quest
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often considered blind according to an old saying.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizes the idea that if you seek, you will find.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expresses the intention to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, the person has not been found yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Refers to the person as a significant and unforgettable figure.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only man the speaker regrets and thinks about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expresses a desire to associate the person's initial with their own.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asks about the whereabouts of a guiding figure for the lost speaker.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Describes a longing to see a particular person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expresses hope that the person will be desirable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desires someone to watch over and protect the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Portrays the speaker as a lost and vulnerable individual.
I know I could always be good
Asserts the speaker's willingness to be good for the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterates the need for someone to watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledges that the person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Addresses the perception of the person's appearance by others.
To my heart he carries the key
Suggests the person holds the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requests the person to hasten and follow the speaker's lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expresses the urgency and the speaker's need for guidance.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterates the desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
