Lyrics

There's a saying old says that love is blind

Love is often perceived as not seeing faults or imperfections in the beloved.

Still were often told, seek and ye shall find

Encourages the idea that if one actively seeks, they'll find love.

So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

The singer intends to search for a specific person.

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Despite looking everywhere, the intended person hasn't been found.


Hes the big affair I cannot forget

The person being sought after is a significant and unforgettable part of the singer's life.

Only man I ever think of with regret

The only individual the singer regrets not being with.

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

The singer desires to personalize their belongings by including the sought person's initial.

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

Asking where the protector or guide is for someone feeling lost and vulnerable.


There's a somebody I'm longing to see

Expresses strong desire to meet a specific person.

I hope that he turns out to be

Hoping that the person being sought meets the singer's expectations.

Someone who'll watch over me

Desire for someone who will care for and protect the singer.

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood

Feeling vulnerable and in need of guidance, comparing oneself to a lost lamb in a forest.

I know I could always be good

Believing that under proper care, the singer can be well-behaved.

Someone who'll watch over me

Seeking someone who will provide protection and guidance.


Although he may not be the man some

Recognizing that the sought person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.

Girls think of as handsome

Contrasting the sought person's appearance with what some girls might consider handsome.

To my heart he carries the key

Emphasizing the sought person's significance to the singer's heart.

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed

Urging the sought person to hurry and follow the singer's request.

Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Asking for support and guidance from the sought person.

Someone to watch over me

Expressing the need for someone to care for and protect the singer.
