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 when you speak love
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 is a thief

We are late darling we're late
The curtain descends and everything ends
Too soon too soon
But I will wait oh yes I will wait
Won't you speak love to me
Speak low to me
And soon

Time is so old
And love is so brief
Love is pure gold
And time is a thief

Oh we are late darling we're so late
The curtain descends and everything ends
Too soon too soon
But I will wait oh I will wait
Won't you speak low to me
Speak love to me
When you speak love to me
Why don't you
Why don't you
Speak low
