Speak Low

Speak low when you speak love
Our summer day, withers away
Too soon, oh, 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
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
And always too soon.

Time is so old and love's 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 wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me?
Speak love to me and soon, oh.

Time is so old and love's 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 wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me?
Speak low to me, speak love, love
Will you speak love and low to me?
And soon, oh.

I, I love you, I love you.
