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, ev'rything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me and soon
