Someone to Watch Over Me Lyrics

(George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin)

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were 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?


Theres 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'd watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he'll carry 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

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he'll carry 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
