Stevie Wonder - Lately Lyrics






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

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

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

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

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

Stevie Wonder Lately Comments
  1. C.... R....

    IN a few minutes and lyrics.. INFINITE SENTIMENTS..WERE CONVEYED......

  2. S.... ....

    My wandering soul, how it aimlessly dwells
    Among darkened hills, amidst its unseen spells,
    And in the distance all that I hear: the summoning of bells.
    Far above me, the high boughs they are bending,
    The once hidden moon now slowly ascending
    And as it sings to the world its sleep song,
    I sit in its shadow and await my ending.

  3. T.... D....

    Remind me 1980 when I come from Cuba I see this drunk lady singing the song and cry I wonder what she think I always remember her and never see it again

  24. D.... k....

    Love how Stevie would use those couplets from song-writers from the tin-pan alley roots of 20th.Century song writing. Really suits this song.

  25. A.... S....

    This song brings me to tears everytime I listen to it.

  26. N.... 6....

    Still listening Stevie babe in UK 🇬🇧 England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 this ribbon in the sky and for your love are my favs from you brother. Beautiful x

  53. M.... P....

    Wonderful song just enjoy.

  54. b.... ....

    What is a person who thumbs down this song life about?

  55. V.... G....

    I played this damn song when my ex and I were together. 😕 she still didn't get the hint. Hence the "Ex"

  56. l.... b....

    I've been listening to Stevie for nearly twenty years now, since I have heard one of his songs in TV. He's been relief, joy and inspiration to me through these years, like one of true members of my family. About 17 years ago my mom brought me Stevie's disc from USA upon my request. This song really stood out of everything, emotionally, in terms of melody and the texture. Although currently I work on the position of public relations manager, my initial profession is fine arts. Works of art like Lately - they come from deep personal reasons and become so universal, millions of people can conceive. There are human beings that would say - I don't care for this song and melancholy in general, or they might not care for the fallen girl from ''Christina's world'' by Andrew Wyeth, but who cares about ignorants? Works of art like ''Lately'' or oil painting ''Christina's world'' are eternal, while humans are called humans

  57. M.... R....

    So beautiful..... Emotional.. 💙❤️

  58. h.... f....

    First time hearing this I thought he copied Jodeci

  59. �.... ....

    한국인 와라

    G.O.A.T.

  62. H.... K....

    2019 hit.

  63. K.... E....

    OMG, when will this pain end......

  64. J.... G....

    This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. My late brother, CJ, performed this song at an ensemble competition and a recital just 6 months before he died of complications from a massive stroke and heart attack caused by Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. RIP CJ. I love you and miss you.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  65. G.... H....

    Stevie Stevie STEVIE! Pure Genius....

  66. R.... S....
