lately...

I'm not posting this because Melissa McGhee forgot Mr. Wonder's lyrics in American Idol (she actually paid the price by saying goodbye in last week's elimination). I just love the song ;)


Lately
by Stevie Wonder

Lately I have had this strangest feeling,
with no vivid reason here to find.
Yet the thought of losing you has been hanging, round my mind...
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume,
with you sayin', "No special place to go"
But when I ask when you'll 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.
Tryin' 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 asked you of the thoughts you're keeping,
you just say, nothing's changed.
