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... 



I wait, darling, I wait, 

Will you speak low to me, 

Slow to me, oh please, 

Just don't say no to me 

Let it flow to me, slow to me 

Soon...Soon...Soon... 

Ooo...Soon...Darling, speak low to me 

Darling, speak slow to me... 

Oh, oh, oh!
