Someone to Watch Over Me
Yearning for a Guardian Angel
Lyrics
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expresses a desire to meet or reunite with a significant person.
I hope that she turns out to be
Hopes that the person turns out to be favorable or suitable.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desires someone who will provide care, protection, and support.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood

But to her heart
Highlights the importance of the singer to the person's heart.
