"Speak Low" lyrics

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

And 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

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

We're late
Darling, we're late
The curtain descends, everything ends
Much too soon, too soon

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