Lyrics Someone To Watch Over Me - Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Barney Kessel

Someone To Watch Over Me

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 inital
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 to 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 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
