Speak low when you speak love   Our summer day, withers away   Too soon, oh, 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's 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, oh      Time is so old and love's 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 low to me, speak love, love   Will you speak love and low to me?   And soon, oh      I, I love you, I love you
