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

That 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

I wait, darling, I 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 wait, darling, I wait

Will you speak low to me? Speak love to me and soon

Speak low
