[Verse 1: Bradley]
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
[Chorus: Bradley]
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
Oh, yes
Goodbye
[Verse 2: Bradley]
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
[Chorus: Bradley]
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
Oh, yes
Goodbye
[Chorus: Bradley]
Oh, 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
Oh, yes
Goodbye
[Outro: Bradley]
Oh-oh, ooh
(Lately, lately)
Mmm, yeah
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, my sweet lady, baby
Goodbye
