Lyrics for Someone To Watch Over Me

There's a saying old, says that love is blind Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet He's the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb? There's a somebody I'm longin' to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood I know I could, always be good To one who'll watch over me Although he may not be the man Some girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won't you tell him please, to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me
