Okay, this is going to be pretty vague, and for that I’m sorry. There is a song that I have heard a few times, but always in a restaurant or store, so I can never make out the lyrics very clearly. It’s a female singer, possibly Diana Krall, but I’m not sure. This woman’s voice sounds a bit lighter and softer than what I remember Diana’s voice to be. It’s a kind of easy listening type song, and there is a flute solo near the end. At least I think it’s a flute.
The tune kind of goes like this:
Do do do…do do do
(then a little faster)
Do do do, do do do
And, I did get just a few lyrics when I heard it today…
Someone to…do do do
Someone to, do do do…
I wish I had more, but I’m afraid that’s it. I’ve always wanted to know who sings the song though, and I would greatly appreciate any help.
Someone To Watch Over Me by George and Ira Gershwin would be my guess.
I can’t help with the specific version you heard, but it’s a standard that has been recorded by most of the major jazz singers past and present, and pop singers as well.
I googled that, and it’s not the song. The song I am thinking of is much more upbeat. I’m aure if you could hear me hum the tune it would be a dead giveaway, but obviously that can’t happen. Thanks for trying though.
