Someone To Watch Over Me
George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin
There's a saying old says that love is blind,
Still we're often told, "Seek and you shall find",
So I'm going to 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 girl I ever think of with regret,
I'd like to add her initial to my monogram,
Tell me, where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she 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
Someone who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry 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...
