Stevland Hardaway Morris (born May 13, 1950 as Stevland Hardaway Judkins), known by his stage name Stevie Wonder, is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, a child prodigy who developed into one of the most creative musical figures of the late 20th century. Blind since shortly after birth, Wonder signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of eleven, and continues to perform and record for Motown to this day.
Among Wonder's best known works are singles such as "Superstition", "Sir Duke", "I Wish" and "I Just Called to Say I Love You". Well known albums also include Talking Book, Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life. He has recorded more than thirty U.S. top ten hits and received twenty-two Grammy Awards, the most ever awarded to a male solo artist. Wonder is also noted for his work as an activist for political causes, including his 1980 campaign to make Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a holiday in the United States. In 2009, Wonder was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace. In 2008, Billboard magazine released a list of the Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists to celebrate the US singles chart's fiftieth anniversary, with Wonder at number five.
Lately, Ive had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
But yet the thought of losing yous been hangin
Around my mind
Far more frequently youre wearing perfume
With, you say, no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You dont know, never know
Oh,Im a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes wont let me hide
cause they always, start to cry
cause this time could mean goodbye
Lately Ive been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Said, Im trying to tell myself I have no reason
With your heart
Now, just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someones name
But when I ask you of the thoughts youre keeping
You just say nothings changed
Ohhh, Im a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel
My eyes wont let me hide
cause they always start to cry
