Someone to watch over me

~~Someone To Watch~~
Over Me

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, 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

I thought this went well with the following quote from Quest for the High Places. This part was written by Mrs. Jennie Chancey.

"The Song of Solomon gives the most beautiful description of marriage I know of. The woman is to be like a walled garden, filled with beautiful flowers, delicious fruits, and sparkling streams, all for one man. Only one man is to own the key to that locked garden. Others may see the beautiful climbing roses trailing over the top of the wall. They might smell the fruit from a distance. They might hear the chattering brook inside. But they do not have the privilege of entering that holy of holies. It is intended for one man alone. And when that godly man takes his garden, he tends it, nourishes it, and honors it in such a way that it becomes even more beautiful and flourishing."
