Lyrics Rupert Holmes

Rupert Holmes

Speechless

I can make a speech

When the mood comes to me, yes it's true

But oh pretty darlin'

I am speechless when it comes to you

Speechless when you reach for my hand

I am so speechless and I can't understand how you love me

But as long as you keep sayin' that you love me

There is nothin' I can say

Except I am speechless at the sound of your voice

I am so speechless and since I have no choice

I keep smilin' like a cat whose caught a bird

And just keep smilin'

If I dare 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 pourin' 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 am hopeless when I dream of you

Speechless and the heart never lies

I am so speechless so I speak with my eyes

I am just smilin' 'cause I've seen [?]

Oh, are you smilin' at my face within the darkness

When I am 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 am speechless at the sight of you
