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
