Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still, we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm goin' to seek a certain girl I've had in mind
[Verse 2]
Lookin' everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I can not forget
Only girl I ever think of with regret
[Verse 3]
I'd like to add  her initial to my monogram
Tell me, where's the shepherd for this lost lamb?
[Verse 4]
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Although she may not be the girl
Some men think of as handsome
To my heart, she carries the key
[Verse 7]
Won't you tell her, please, to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
[Verse 8]
Someone to watch over me
[Verse 9]
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but ever and a day
[Verse 10]
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time, may go
[Verse 11]
But, oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're, we're goin' a long, long way
[Verse 12]
In time, the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
[Verse 13]
But, oh, my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're, ooh, we're goin' a long, long way
[Verse 14]
In time, the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
Our love is here to
Our love is here to stay
