"Composé en 1927, pour la comédie musicale Oh, Kay ! À cette époque, Gershwin est déjà une figure majeure de Broadway. C’est avec son frère Ira, talentueux parolier qu’il écrira la musique de cette chanson, qui au départ était un morceau destiné à être joué sur un tempo rapide" Laurent Valero

George Gershwin Compositeur et pianiste américain (Brooklyn 1898 – Los Angeles 1937)
Ira Gershwin

"There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were 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 ...

1954, Live ! From the musical film "Young at Heart" ...

... Hes 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 ? ...

1987, Live ! Grammy Awards ...

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

2002, Live ! Concert From the Musical: Oh, Kay ! ...

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

Follow my lead, oh, how I need
