Someone to Watch over Me
Longing for Love's Guardian: Someone to Watch over Me
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often said to be without judgment or unaffected by imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Common advice suggests that if you search, you'll find what you seek.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
The singer is determined to find a particular person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
The search for this person has been exhaustive but unsuccessful.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
This person holds significant importance in the singer's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret
The only person the singer feels regretful about or misses.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The singer wishes to have a connection or relationship with this person.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asking for guidance in finding this person, comparing oneself to a lost lamb needing a shepherd.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expressing a strong desire to meet someone.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopeful that the person sought after possesses desirable qualities.
Someone who'll watch over me
Seeking 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, like a lost lamb in the forest.
I know I could always be good
Confident in one's ability to behave well under protection.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiteration of the desire for someone to look after the singer.
Although he may not be the man some
Not focused on the person's physical appearance, contrasting it with others' opinions.
Girls think of as handsome
Others may not consider this person conventionally attractive.
To my heart he carries the key
This person holds the key to the singer's heart.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urging the person to hurry and follow, expressing the singer's need for them.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requesting the person to pay attention and lead the way, emphasizing the singer's necessity for their presence.
Someone to watch over me
The longing for someone to protect and care for the singer.
