Someone to Watch Over Me
Longing for Love's Guardian: Someone to Watch Over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love is often seen as blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizing the common advice to actively seek and one will find.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Deciding to search for a specific person in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Actively looking everywhere but not finding the person yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Referring to the person as a significant and unforgettable part of life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret about this person being the only one thought of.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desiring to include the person's initial in a personal monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Poetically asking where the shepherd (protector) is for this lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong longing to see a particular somebody.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person turns out to be desirable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone to watch over and protect the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing oneself as a lost and vulnerable individual.
I know I could always be good
Acknowledging the ability to be good under the care of someone.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over and protect.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Suggesting that the person holds the key to the speaker's heart.
To my heart he carries the key
Requesting the person to hurry and follow, emphasizing the need for their presence.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Asking the person to follow the speaker's lead and expressing a strong need for their support.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Reiterating the profound need for someone to watch over the speaker.
Someone to watch over me
Emphasizing the ongoing need for a protector or guardian.
