Song 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 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 longin' 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
Someone 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

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

Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin
