Someone To Watch Over Me Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

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'll watch over me 

Although he may not be the man 

Some girls think of as handsome 

To my heart he carries the key 

Photos 

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
