Watch Over Me

"Oh how I want, oh how I plea." To that Big Guy in the clouds, Yes, Someone to watch over me Should I ever enlightened be still to spirits and saints pray But need someone to watch over me Images of gods as mother or daddy or pictures of anglicized Jesus Oh how I want, oh how I plea Hope my god holds me so easily As into heaven I want to go Someone, Oh yes to watch over me Wondering at all the glory I see Is this really all there is Oh how I plea, and how I plea After the millionth or so glory Sadly wondering at this story, Oh my god how must I plea For someone to watch over me!

Lovely twist on Gershwin..I remember recordings of Ella singing it. And yes we all hope for the ultimate shepherd to take care of us. Nicely done, so I'm sure the boys will not mind. ~Jan
