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
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
