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 that wherever I go   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
