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
