Someone to Watch Over Me Lyrics by Kiri Te Kanawa

Kiri Sings Gershwin

0

[Verse]
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?
[Chorus]
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'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
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Won't you tell him all my love I will save?
I'll be his slave
Oh, how I crave
Someone to watch over me
