Someone to Watch Over Me

(George Gershwin)
Frank Sinatra (and others)

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 a 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 shepherd 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, 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 her heart I'll 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 

Won't you tell her please 
To put on some speed 
Follow my lead 
Oh how I need 
Someone to watch over me
