Someone to Watch over Me
In Search of Love: Someone to Watch over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Introduction to the concept that love is often considered blind.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouragement to actively seek love as it can be found.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expressing the intent to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching extensively, the person has not been found.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the person as a significant and unforgettable part of life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Regret over the fact that this person is the only one thought of.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to incorporate the person's initial into personal symbolism.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance in finding the person, referring to them as a lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Introduction of a special person the speaker is eager to meet.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person lives up to expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will protect and care for the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Portraying the speaker as a vulnerable and lost individual.
I know I could always be good
Committing to being good with the right guidance.
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
Highlighting the importance of the person despite external judgments.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolizing the person as holding the key to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging the person to hasten the meeting and follow the speaker's lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Expressing a deep need for someone to guide and protect.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the longing for someone to watch over the speaker.
