Someone to Watch over Me
Longing for Love: Nellie Lutcher's Melodic Quest
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Introducing the idea that love is often considered blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizing the common belief that one will find love if actively sought.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intention to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Indicating an ongoing search for the desired individual.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Highlighting the significant impact of a particular person on the speaker's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret over thinking about only one man.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desiring a personal connection with the man, possibly through monogramming.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance in finding the right person, using the metaphor of a lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet a particular person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person is worthy or suitable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone to protect and care for the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing the speaker as a vulnerable and lost individual.
I know I could always be good
Expressing a willingness to be good for the right person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the sought-after person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Addressing the potential perception of the person's appearance by others.
To my heart he carries the key
Indicating the person holds the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Requesting the person to hasten their approach.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Seeking the person's guidance and expressing a deep need for their presence.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the longing for someone to watch over the speaker.
