"Lately" lyrics
"Lately"
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'Round 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
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I 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 goodbye
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no 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
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I 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 goodbye, goodbye
Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
I 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 goodbye
Writer(s): Stevie Wonder
This is one of Stevie Wonder's greatest love songs, which was covered by many other artist, though it almost missed the US charts at that time.
The song tells about a person whose loved one is cheating on him. The narrator says that there are some signs that his partner is seeing someone else.
Jodeci covered this song and released it as a promotional single for the live album "Uptown MTV Unplugged" in June 1993.

Everything to me
When she was my girl
When she was my girl
I held her near
Told her how much I cared
When she was my girl

There was laughter...
Taylor Dayne - "Love Will Lead You Back" Saying goodbye
Is never an easy thing
But you never said that you'd stay forever
So if you must go
Well, darlin', I'll set you free
But I know in time that we'll be together
I won't try to stop you...
Chris Rea - "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" A dying flame, you're free again
Who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're...

And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore, a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more, forever more
Close your eyes and dream
