Here Are the Lyrics to Dan + Shay’s ‘Speechless’
Dan + Shay created one of the most impactful wedding songs of recent years with "Speechless." The "Speechless" lyrics were drawn directly from the singers' own weddings.
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney teamed with Jordan Reynolds and Laura Veltz to write "Speechless," whose lyrics depict both men's amazement when they first looked down the aisle at their weddings and saw their wives.
"I'm speechless / Staring at you, standing there in that dress / What it's doing to me, ain't a secret / 'Cause watching you is all that I can do / And I'm speechless / You already know that you're my weakness / After all this time I'm just as nervous / Every time you walk into the room / I'm speechless," they sing in the chorus.
"Speechless" scored Dan + Shay a No. 1 hit on both Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and Country Airplay chart when it was released as the second single from their self-titled third studio album in 2018. The duo are slated to perform "Speechless" at the 2019 CMA Awards on Nov. 13, where it is nominated for Single of the Year.
Dan + Shay's "Speechless" Lyrics:
You say you'll be down in five / The smell of your perfume is floating down the stairs / You're fixing up your hair like you do / I know that I'll be a mess / The second that I see you / You won't be surprised / It happens every time / It's nothing new / It's always on a night like tonight / I thank God you can read my mind / 'Cause when you look at me with those eyes
Chorus:
I'm speechless / Staring at you, standing there in that dress / What it's doing to me, ain't a secret / 'Cause watching you is all that I can do / And I'm speechless / You already know that you're my weakness / After all this time I'm just as nervous / Every time you walk into the room / I'm speechless
It started when you said hello / Just did something to me / And I've been in a daze / Ever since the day that we meet / You take the breath out of my lungs / Can't even fight it / And all of the words out of my mouth without even trying
Chorus:
It's always on a night like tonight / I think that you can read my mind / 'Cause when you look at me with those eyes
Chorus:
Oh, you know it, baby, oh oh
