Song lyrics

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
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief, 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?
Will you speak low to me, speak, love, to me too soon?
Will you speak low to me, speak, love, to me and soon?
And soon?
