Someone to Watch Over Me
Longing for Protection: Seeking Someone to Watch Over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often described as blind, a common saying.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Emphasizing the idea that seeking love will lead to finding it.
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
Despite looking everywhere, the person has not found the one they seek.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the sought person as a significant and unforgettable relationship.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Regret over not being with the person they think about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to add the sought person's initial to personal belongings.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance to find the person, using the metaphor of a lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet someone special.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hoping that the desired person lives up to expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desiring someone who will protect and care for the person.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Describing oneself as a lost lamb in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the belief in one's potential to be good with the right guidance.
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 sought person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Highlighting that the person's value goes beyond physical appearance.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolizing the person as the key to the speaker's heart and happiness.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Pleading for the sought person to hasten their arrival.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Urging the person to follow the speaker's lead, expressing a deep need for their presence.
Someone to watch over me
Summing up the overarching theme of longing for someone to watch over and care for the speaker.
