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 that 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

I wait, darling I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me and soon
