Someone to Watch Over Me
Cecilia Dale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 inital
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 to 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
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

The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and longing, as well as a deep desire for connection and love.

Line by Line Meaning
There's a saying old
People say love is unpredictable
Says that love is blind
Love doesn't care about physical appearance
Still we're often told
Despite the popular belief about love
"Seek and ye shall find"
Continuously look and you may encounter love
So I'm going to seek
Therefore, I'm going to search
A certain lad
For a specific boy
I've had in mind
Who I've been thinking of
Looking everywhere
Searching in every possible place
Haven't found him yet
But haven't discovered him yet
He's the big affair
He's the one I'm interested in
I cannot forget
I can't stop thinking about him
Only man I ever think
He's the only guy I consider
Of with regret
And I would regret not finding him
I'd like
I wish
To add his initial
To personally connect with him
To my monogram
And make it a shared project
Tell me
Please inform me
Where is the shepherd
Where can I find someone to guide me
For this lost lamb?
As I am lost and in need of help?
There's a somebody
There's a particular person I want to meet
I'm longin' to see
I'm eager to see them
I hope that he turns
I desire that he becomes
Out to be
What I'm looking for
Someone to watch over me
A protector that can look out for me
I'm a little lamb
I'm vulnerable
Who's lost in the wood
And lost in life
I know I could
I'm confident I can
Always be good
Continue to be a good person
To one
For someone
Who'll watch over me
That will take care of me
Although he may
Even though he might
Not be the man some
Not be the man that some
Girls think
Girls believe
Of as handsome
Is attractive
To my heart
To me personally
He carries the key
He's the one who can make me happy
Won't you tell him please
Can you please inform him
To put on some speed
To make haste
Follow my lead
To do what I'm doing
Oh, how I need
I need so badly
Someone to watch over me
Someone to be there for me and protect me
Someone to watch over me
Someone to look after and care for me
