Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, wherever I go, that tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here and always too soon
[Verse 2]
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'll wait, darling, I'll wait
Will you speak low to me? Speak love to me and soon
[Verse 3]
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'll wait, darling, I'll wait
Will you speak low to me? Speak love to me and soon
[Verse 4]
Speak low
