Over And Over
Billy Andrusco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still were 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
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
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
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
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
The song "Over and Over" by Billy Andrusco talks about the search for love and the longing for someone who will watch over the singer. The lyrics begin by referencing the saying that love is blind and the idea that one must actively seek out love in order to find it. The singer has someone in mind and has been searching for them everywhere, but has not yet found them. This person is the only one the singer ever thinks about with regret and they want to add their initial to their monogram. The singer compares themselves to a lost lamb who needs a shepherd.
The second verse shifts to the singer expressing hope that the person they find will be someone who will watch over them. They describe themselves as a little lamb who is lost in the woods and always willing to be good. They also reveal that the person they are searching for may not be conventionally handsome, but they hold the key to the singer's heart. The singer pleads for this person to put on some speed and follow their lead, as they desperately need someone to watch over them.
Overall, the song expresses the universal longing for love and the need for someone to care for and protect us. The use of the shepherd and lost lamb imagery is especially poignant, suggesting that we all need guidance and care in our lives.

This is the most beautiful, relaxing music I’ve ever heard from such a talented pianist. This is for certain real music. Thank you so much Mr. Andrusco for keeping real music alive.

I had the high honor of sitting within feet of him for a WEEK and listening to him play the piano on the Grand Princess cruise ship while I worked on a cross stitch project. A week I’ll never forget. So you can see why I am beyond elated to find this today.
@drewellis5655
Do you happen to know if he wrote any of his songs? There are a few titles I am not familiar with. How long ago was he on the cruise ship?
@marsha7330
@@drewellis5655 It was a seven day cruise so I don’t know when he disembarked. It was a total gift from the Almighty as far as I was concerned.

I first heard this talented artist on SiriusXM radio and became an instant fan. Every time I hear something different of his I'm left in awe. He is instantly recognizable to me. I have several of his CD's and hope to acquire more. His music has given me many hours of entertainment. Would love to see and hear him in person some time.
@francesbogan6649
I could agree with you more. I, too, fell in love with Billy Andrusco via Sirius XM radio. Wouldn't it be just great to hear him in person. I'm from Massachusetts, USA.

I meant to say, "I could NOT agree with you more." Sorry.

I can recognize his music and also Floyd Cramers.
@eileenpritchard9005
@@sunshine999 I was always a big fan of Floyd Cramer but Billy has captured my heart when it comes to piano now. Have more of his albums than I do Floyd, but both are great. To me Billy's is a bit more recognizable to me quicker. I recognize him with just a few touch of the keys. Amazing isn't it? Have a good evening.
