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
Lookin' everywhere, haven't found him yet
But he's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

[Verse 2]
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 longin' to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
And I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Now, he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
But to my heart, he'll carry the key, oh
Won't you tell him please, "Put on some speed
Follow my lead"
Oh, how I need, someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
