Knight, Gladys - 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 girl I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl I ever think of will regret

I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although she may not the girl some men think of
As handsome to my heart
She carries the key

Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

Knight, Gladys Someone To Watch Over Me Comments
  1. M.... B....

    I have always adored Gladys Knight. (Her rendition of the National Anthem at this year's Superbowl was -- well, "my favorite version" period.) A moment ago Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio played Gladys' recent take on what some consider "the best love song ever written" I wondered immediately -- Is it at YouTube? Yes. Thank you Chakapat D. Does anyone mention the arranger? No. But I'd bet money it's Jeremy Lubbock.

    Whenever I hear an other-worldly orchestration (with subtleties that no other living arranger could imagine) and I take the time to buy the album, it often turns out to be the English-born Jeremy Lubbock. (Jeremy is one more arranger, in a long line that includes Riddle and Costa, who admit to the influence of Robert ('Great Songs From Great Britain') Farnon. Just listen to what happens around the 2:50 mark. Don't know which album this is from but I gotta get this one.

  2. S.... O....

    I adore Gladys Knight, and the soulful way she delivers whatever she sings. Mmm . . . brown sugar.

    S.... O....

    Without checking the comments, I just posted one of my own -- with the same opening words you used: I adore Gladys Knight. Yes. Brown sugar, perfect.

  3. C.... H....

    I adore this rendition and adopt it as my CALL-OUT!

    C.... H....

    Without checking the comments, I just posted one of my own -- and used the same words "I adore" that Sage Oxymoron and you, Cati Hawkins-Okorie used. Kindred spirits are we! Thanks for the synchronicity.
