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 speechless, speechless That's how you make me feel Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real 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 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 am in the light where I cannot be found It's as though I am standing in the place called Hallowed Ground Speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel Though I'm with you I am far away and nothing is for real I'll go anywhere and do anything just to touch your face There's no mountain high I cannot climb I'm humbled in your grace 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 Though I'm with you I am lost for words and nothing is for real Speechless your love is magical, that's how I feel But in your presence I am lost for words Words like, "I love you."
