Someone to watch over me (Gershwin)
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.

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 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
Watched, over me.

Although he may not, be the man some
Girls think of, as handsome,
To my heart, he carries, 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.

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

Male Version:
There's a somebody I've wanted 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.

She may be far;
She may be nearby;
I'm promising hereby,
To my heart she'll carry the key.

And this world would be like heaven if she'd
Follow my lead
Oh how I need,
Someone, to watch, over me.
