Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me Lyrics

Writer(s): gershwin/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 lass i've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet

she's the big affair i cannot forget
Only one i ever think of with regret
I'd like to add her 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 she 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
Someone who'll watch over me

Although i may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart i'll carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me
