SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER


There's a saying old, says that love is blindStill we're often told, seek and ye shall findSo I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yetHe's the big affair I cannot forgetOnly man I ever think of with regretI'd like to add his initial to my monogramTell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longin' to seeI hope that he turns out to beSomeone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woodI know I could always be goodTo one who'll watch over me
Although he may not beThe man some girls think of as handsomeTo my heart, he carries the keyWon't you tell him please to put on some speedFollow my lead, oh, how I needSomeone to watch over me
