Speak Low

Speak low

When you speak, love

Our summer day withers away

Too soon, too soon

Speak low

When you speak, love

Our moment is swift, like ships adrift

We're swept apart, too soon

Speak low

Darling, speak low

Love is a spark, lost in the dark

Too soon, too soon

I feel wherever I go

Tomorrow is near

Tomorrow is here and always too soon

Time is so old and love so brief

Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late

Darling, we're late

The curtain descends, everything ends

Too soon, too soon

But I'll wait

Darling, I'll wait

Will you speak low to me?

Speak love to me and soon

Time is so old and love so brief

Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late

Darling, we're late

The curtain descends, everything ends

Too soon, too soon

I'll wait

Darling, I'll wait

Will you speak low to me?

Speak love to me and soon
