Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Heart's Quest: Seeking Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often perceived as not seeing faults or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Common advice suggests that if one actively seeks, they will find what they're looking for.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expresses the intention to search for a specific young man.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, the person hasn't found the lad yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
He is a significant love interest that remains unforgettable.
Only man I ever think of with regret
He's the only man she regrets thinking about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expresses a desire to incorporate his initial into her monogram, signifying a wish for a deeper connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking where the person who can guide and protect her is.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expresses a strong desire to meet someone.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopes that the person being sought meets her expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desires someone who will take care of her and protect her.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describes feeling lost and vulnerable, needing guidance.
I know I could always be good
Confident that with guidance, she can behave appropriately.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterates the longing for someone to protect and care for her.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledges that the sought-after person may not fit society's typical standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Contrasts the person's appearance with his significance to her heart.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolizes his importance and closeness to her emotions.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urges the person to hurry up and follow her.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requests the person to accompany and support her.
Someone to watch over me
Expresses the need for someone to take care of and look out for her.
