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, weí‚´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
Weí‚´re late, darling, weí‚´re late
The curtain descends, eví‚´rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon
