Ella Fitzgerald - Someone To Watch Over Me Lyrics






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

  5. C.... V....

    My eyes teared up listening to her. Did yours? Beauty always does that to me.

  6. V.... S....

    I've listened to some versions of this song as sung by Miss Ella as well as others. Hers are always the best but of those this one in my favorite because it's got attitude as well as personality to me she's saying, "Get your ass over here already".

    V.... S....

    Frank Sinatra, Joni James, & Keely Smith also recorded wonderful versions, Valentina.

  7. N.... M....

    The greatest singer of all time,great Ella, listen to that voice

  8. E.... M....

    Thumbs up if you're still listening to it in 2019✨
    I've also made a cover of this beautiful song 🎶💖 visit my channel to find out 🎼

  9. E.... B....

    What kind of monster dislikes this?!

  10. C.... M....

    Watchtower

  11. I.... R....

    I love Ella -- her signature style and interpretations of musical scores is superb! What a delight to listen to her great voice and soul!

  12. C.... B....

    This is what Heaven must be like.

  13. J.... H....

    What a voice...

  14. S.... N....

    Came here after recommended by WayV Xiaojun

  15. �.... ....

    I love you Ella ! from jpn

  16. n.... ....

    Whenever I hear this song (especially when Queen Ella covers it) I AM reminded of two things:

    1 - that GOD'S HEAVEN IS REAL

    &

    2 - that Purgatory is needed so that the raptures of melancholy can be felt; said sentiments paradoxically paving the road what leads to HEAVEN'S GLORY.

    And what does HEAVEN'S GLORY consist of if not LOVE, SWEET, LOVE?

  17. E.... M....

    One of greatest singers of the 20th Century. Hard to find better.

    E.... M....

    I can suggest some others, Edmond: Keely Smith, Linda Ronstadt, Barbra Streisand, Doris Day, & Karen Carpenter.

  18. L.... G....

    Sadly, we must clutch on to this jewel..&others of the like..they are of a home era...writers & singers... Cherish!!!

  19. M.... A....

    Makes me think of my Jimmy 💕💕💕💕

  20. T.... S....

    I'm glad that Los Muertos are planning the Welcome Back Home Party.

    I hope everyone out there's going through a rough time can feel a little better that Our Loved Ones Watch Over Us All.

    Let's reach out to our Ancestors more often, like 24/7/365-366...., Qué nos?

    But if we can just consider being more kinder to each other, then maybe we wouldn't be so stressed out now, would we?

    T.... S....

    Hey, mind checking out my vision board meeting tonight if interested in Seance with Maestro Harrold Hudini and the other Kids In the Gang!

    Hopefully, you can heal a little bit more of your heartaches by bedtime.

    Kissing you all Buenos Días y Buenas Noches, Dulce Sueños, Mís Chiquitines!

    Ahora, a dormir y descansar un poco más de repostería creativa y entusiasta con el amante de las personas que se mata a tres cuadras de plaza Tangamanga a la primera vez que se mata y me ofrecieron trabajo como peón de la primera guerra mundial pero ustedes no quiere esposa pero esposo también que me Ama Mucho Papá parace posible que me Ama Mucho Papá parace posible que pueda tener justicia y paz a través de este mensaje por error por favor me Ama también y cantar para todos aquellos casos en que me adoptado las medidas necesarias para asegurar el tratamiento confidencial exclusivamente dirigida a su propia mujer y también por favor confirmar recibido gracias saludos cordiales y gracias por su atención prestada cordialmente de usted cabronas echándole ganas para que puedas regresar a la primera vez que se mata a tres supuestos policías por presunto plagio de la primera vez que se mata a tres supuestos policías y bomberos voluntarios de protección porque no quiere decir a mi como la fuerza pero ahora perdiendo nuestras oficinas de atención de la primera vez que se mata de mango de madera para que puedas regresar a su disposición y espero que se cree chingón y no debería casarse legalmente protegida y confidencial exclusivamente dirigida....

    Amén?

  69. K.... I....

    One of the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard--Ella Fitzgerald still reigns as one of the Great American Singers!

  70. E.... R....

    Whin I was station in California in the Marine Corps and later in Oklahoma and Alabama in the army sometime I would take a leave and we would drive back to St. Louis when I was in the army I take a Greyhound bus when I was in the Marine Corps. You could always tail when you got there a St. Louis Missouri because of the radio I don’t recall exactly who the DJ was at that time so I want say a name. But the music I would come over the radio with singers-such as Diana Washington , Sarah Vaughan,Ella Fitzgerald , Billie Holiday, Billy Eckstein and others who I grew up listening too in my mother house. What wonderful memories to have when I was a child of the forty and fifty.

  71. M.... ....

    Could Ella's voice be the most beautiful sound on earth? My heart is saying Yes

  72. V.... P....

    Beautiful

  73. c.... l....

    oh boy...the greatest voice of the 1900's. Sinatra could only look on in awe.

  74. P.... ....

    I always loved the sweet voice and lyrics of Ella Fitzgerald

  75. e.... ....

    Her voice is so beautiful, so moving :D

  76. m.... ....

    Ella's voice is sheer magic!! Her singing Gershwin could melt a block of ice at the north pole. What a talent, what a woman!!!

  77. G.... M....

    Ugh why can’t music be like it was

  78. M.... D....

    69 yrs old on Sunday . Heard some good & talented singing. but no one / nobody has a talent & voice like Ella. Best singing voice I have ever heard!!!

  79. p.... l....

    What a legend... AND had to deal with RACIST, HEINOUS, WHITE HATRED... at one time she could sing for whites but couldn’t drink from their fountains or be seated in their clubs or live in their neighborhoods, had to ride in the back of the bus... remember that every time you hear her magical voice... SHAME ON YOU AMERICA!!

  80. B.... J....

    Is singing really as easy as she makes it appear?

  81. W.... V....

    Harry W

  82. p.... a....

  92. W.... B....

    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 longin' 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

    Someone to watch over me

  93. L.... R....

    I MISS HER😭😭😭

  94. D.... C....

    THE pre-eminent of female singers; not that there are not other magnificent female vocalists but no one compares to EF ... my heart belongs to Ella Fitzgerald ... I attended many of her performances and I became mesmerized at each one of them ... her recordings are heaven-sent and I listen to them with reverence ...
