Someone to Watch Over Me
Yearning for a Guardian: Someone to Watch Over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing the idea that love is often irrational or oblivious to flaws.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouraging the pursuit of love with the belief that it will 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
Describing the ongoing search for the mentioned person without success.
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
Indicating a sense of regret and emotional attachment to the person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to include the person's initial in a personal monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet a particular individual.
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 who will protect and care for the speaker.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing oneself as vulnerable and in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the willingness to be good for the person watching over.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterating the desire for someone to protect and watch over the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledging that the person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome

To my heart he carries the key
Indicating that 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 and follow the speaker's lead.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Someone to watch over me
