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?
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?
Speak low to me, love, to me
