Speechless Lyrics

[Intro]
Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel, but I am

[Chorus]
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am far away and nothing is for real

[Post-Chorus]
When I'm with you, I am lost for words
I don't know what to say
My head's spinning like a carousel
So silently, I pray

[Verse 2]
Helpless and hopeless, that's how I feel inside
Nothing's real, but all is possible if God is on my side
When I'm with you, I'm in the light where I can not be found
It's as though I am standing in the place called 'Hallowed Ground'

[Chorus]
Speechless (Speechless), speechless (Speechless)
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you (Ooh)
I am far away and nothing is for real

[Post-Chorus]
I'd go anywhere and do anything
Just to touch your face
There's no mountain high I can not climb
I'm humbled in your grace

[Chorus]
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am far away, and nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel (You're always in my heart)
Though I'm with you
I am lost for words and nothing is for real
Speechless

[Outro]
Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But in your presence, I am lost for words
Words like... like, "I love you"

About

“Speechless” is the eighth song on Jackson’s tenth studio album Invincible. While the lyrics of the song alludes to, what you assume, a significant other in Michael’s life. Michael revealed in an interview with Vibe magazine that “Speechless” was not written while he was smitten with any girl. In fact, the inspiration for this song came from a water balloon fight he had with children in Germany:

I was so happy after the fight that I ran upstairs in their house and wrote ‘Speechless’. Fun inspires me. I hate to say that, because it’s such a romantic song… But it was the fight that did it. I was happy, and I wrote it in its entirety right there. I felt it would be good enough for the album. Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment, and creativity.

“Speechless” was only released as a promotional single in South Korea.
