George Gershwin
Someone To Watch Over Me
[Verse 1]
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 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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

[Chorus]
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he 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
To one who'll watch over me

[Bridge]
Although he may not be
The man some girls think of as handsome
To my heart, he carries the key

[Chorus]
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
