Someone to Watch Over me
(Gershwin/Gershwin)
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.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.

One of my moms favorite songs. She played the piano.
I'm very partial to Linda Ronstadt & The Nelson Riddle Orchestra's version of the song.
Bill. I'm with you. Not only Linda's two best albums, but perhaps also the two best CD's in my pop collection.
Troutbirder: I wish I could play the piano... what a lovely memory that must be of your mum. And it's one of my absolute favourite songs.
Bill and Marc: I concur wholeheartedly!
