[Strofa 1]
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
[Pre-ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
Well, 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 goodbye
[Strofa 2]
Lately, I've been staring in the mirror
Vеry slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I havе no reason
With your heart
[Pre-ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
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
[Ritornello]
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
