Speechless - Rupert Holmes

I can make a speech

When the mood comes to me

Yes, it’s true

But oh, pretty darlin'

I’m speechless when it comes to you

Speechless when you reach for my hand

I’m so speechless and I can’t understand how you love me

But as long as you keep saying that you love me

There is nothing I can say

Except I’m speechless at the sound of your voice

I’m so speechless and since I have no choice

I keep smiling like a cat who’s caught a bird

And just keeps smiling

If I dared to say a word, you’d find me mindless

And I don’t really mind, love is blindness

And my mind is resigned to the kindness you keep pouring on me

Can it be, can it be, can it be all for me?

I don’t have a hope

If you don’t dream of me

This is true

'Cause oh, pretty darlin'

I’m hopeless when I dream of you

Speechless and the heart never lies

I’m so speechless so I speak with my eyes

Are you smiling 'cause I seem like Harpo Marx?

Or are you smiling at my face within the darkness?

When I’m breathless and I come up for air

It’s so endless that it gives me a scare

It’s so timeless that I never touch ground

Why should I, why should I, why should I make a sound?

I can sing your song

I can sigh in the night

This is true

But oh, pretty darlin'

I’m speechless at the sight of you
