Lately
Written and sung by Stevie Wonder

Lately I've had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
but yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
Around my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say, 'No special place to go'
But when I ask, will you be coming back soon?
you don't know, never know

I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cause they always start to cry
Cause this time could mean good, goodbye.

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
I'm trying to tell myself I have a reason
With your heart

Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But, when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping
You just say, 'Nothing's changed'

I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
Cause they always starts to cry
Cause this time could mean good bye
