Someone to Watch over Me
Longing for Guardian Love
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Expressing a common belief that love is blind and doesn't see faults.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encouraging the idea that one can find love if actively sought.
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
Conveying the ongoing search for the mentioned person without success.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describing the person as a significant and unforgettable part of the speaker's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Expressing regret about the only man the speaker thinks about.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expressing a desire to connect with the person on a deeper level, possibly through marriage.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Pleading for guidance in finding the person, using the metaphor of a lost lamb needing a shepherd.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to see a specific person.
I hope that he turns out to be
Expressing hope that the person is worth waiting for.
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 a lost and vulnerable individual.
I know I could always be good
Expressing the belief that the speaker can be good with the right person watching over them.
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 person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Addressing the potential judgment of others regarding the person's looks.
To my heart he carries the key
Highlighting the person's importance to the speaker's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging someone to convey the message for the person to act quickly.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requesting support and guidance, emphasizing the need for someone to lead.
Someone to watch over me
Reiterating the central theme of longing for someone to watch over the speaker.
