George Gershwin - Someone To Watch Over Me lyrics

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
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 initials to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd
For this lost lamb

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone to watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although I may not be the
Man some girls think of
As handsome 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
