Lyrics

There's a saying old says that love is blind

Love is often considered blind, according to a saying.

Still were often told, seek and ye shall find

Despite being advised to seek, the singer hasn't found the desired person yet.

So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

The singer is actively searching for a specific person.

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Despite looking everywhere, the singer has not found the person.


Hes the big affair I cannot forget

The person in mind is a significant and unforgettable affair.

Only man I ever think of with regret

The only man the singer regrets and thinks about.

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

The singer desires to include the person's initial in their monogram, indicating a desire for connection.

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

The singer seeks guidance, asking where the shepherd is for this lost lamb, symbolizing a need for protection.


There's a somebody I'm longing to see

Expressing a strong desire to meet someone specific.

I hope that he turns out to be

Hoping that the person turns out to be positive or desirable.

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

Describing oneself as a vulnerable and lost "little lamb" in need of guidance.

I know I could always be good

Expressing a willingness to be good for the right person.

Someone who'll watch over me

Reiterating the need for someone to watch over and protect the singer.


Although he may not be the man some

Acknowledging that the person may not fit conventional standards of attractiveness.

Girls think of as handsome

Contrasting the person's attractiveness with the ability to unlock the singer's heart.

To my heart he carries the key

Asking someone to convey the urgency for the person to act quickly.

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed

Requesting the person to follow the singer's lead.

Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Expressing a deep need for someone to watch over the singer.

Someone to watch over me

Reiterating the desire for someone to protect and care for the singer.
