[Verse 1]
Lately I have had the 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 say no special place to go
When I ask, "Will you be coming back soon?"
You don't know, never know
[Chorus]
Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
What I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
[Verse 2]
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Vеry slowly picking me apart
Tryna' tell myself I havе no reason
With your heart
Just the other night when you were sleepin'
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
When I asked you of the thoughts you're keepin'
You just say nothing's changed
[Chorus]
Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
What I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
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 have had the 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 say no special place to go
When I ask, "Will you be coming back soon?"
You don't know, never know
[Chorus]
Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
What I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
[Verse 2]
Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Vеry slowly picking me apart
Tryna' tell myself I havе no reason
With your heart
Just the other night when you were sleepin'
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
When I asked you of the thoughts you're keepin'
You just say nothing's changed
[Chorus]
Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
What I really feel
My eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye
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
