George Gershwin
Someone to Watch over Me
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 have in mind
Looking everywhere
Haven't found her yet
She's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only one I every think of with regret
I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me who is the shepherdess to 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
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
