SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME
- words by Ira Gershwin, music by George Gershwin
- from the 1926 musical "Oh, Kay!"

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

Here it is Katie. One of my fave Gershwin tunes

There's a saying old
Say's 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 initials 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 som

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.
Someone to watch over me.

Hope this helps. This is the version from the Original Broadway
Version of Crazy for You. This version is sung by the character Polly.
