Speechless

(album: Pursuit Of Happiness - 1978)

I can make a speech
When the mood comes to me, yes it's true
But oh pretty darling
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 saying that you love me
There is nothing 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 smiling like a cat whose caught a bird
And just keep 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 darling
I am 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 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 darling
I am speechless at the sight of you
