Someone To Watch Over Me
George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin
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
The 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 longing 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 follow some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need…
Someone to watch… over… me…
