Speak low when you speak love


Our summer day, withers away

Too soon, oh, 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's 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, darling, I wait


Will you speak low to me?

Speak love to me and soon, oh





Time is so old and love's 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, darling, I wait


Will you speak low to me?

Speak low to me, speak love, love

Will you speak love and low to me?


And soon, oh




I, I love you, I love you
