There's a saying old
says that love is blind,<a href="http://www.testimania.com/">Testi Canzoni</a>
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 can not forget
Only man I'll 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 to 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
Is Someone to Watch Over Me
Someone to Watch Over Me.
