> I have looked in all of my books, but I cannot find the lyrics to "Some one
To Watch Over Me"  Any one ?<

Dear Richard,
I wish they were all as easy as that one.
Kind regards,

SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME
(1926. George & Ira Gershwin)

There¹s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we¹re often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So I¹m going to seek a certain lad I¹ve had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven¹t found him yet
He¹s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I¹d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There¹s a somebody I¹m longin¹ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who¹ll watch over me

I¹m a little lamb who¹s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who¹ll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won¹t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

(bridge)
Won¹t 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
