Someone to Watch over Me
Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin
There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
Seek and you shall find
So I'm gonna seek a certain girl
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 initials
To my monogram
Tell me who is this shepherdess
To this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to meet
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although she may not be the girl
Some men think of as pretty
To my heart she carries 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
Someone to watch over me
