[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

Des O’Connor

Desmond “Des” O'Connor (12 January 1932 – 14 November 2020) was an English comedian, singer and television presenter. He recorded a total of 36 albums and had four top-ten UK singles, including the number-one hit single “I Pretend”, which sold over 16 million copies worldwide.

O'Connor entered the show-biz world in the 1950s, and prior to his break on television, he would perform professionally on stages as a singer and a comedian. He was also paid to host variety shows, which set him up for a success when he became a talk-show host a few years later (The Des O'Connor Show, Des O'Connor Tonight, and more).

In 1958, when Buddy Holly toured the UK, Des O'Connor was paid £100 per week to be the show’s compère.
