Speak Low

Time is so old and love so brief Love is pure gold, time a thief Speak low when you speak love Our summer's 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, oh 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's a thief We're late, we're late, darling 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? Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon? And soon, speak low, speak low Speak low, speak love
