Speak low
When you speak love
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief
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
Darlin' speak love
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
Darlin' we're late
The curtain descends
Everything ends
Too soon too soon
I'll wait
Darlin' I'll wait
Will you
Speak low to me
Speak love to me
Speak low speak low
And soon
Speak low speak love
Speak low and soon
Speak low
