Speak Low Lyrics

Speak Low lyrics

(Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill) 

 

 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,

 Were 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 here

 Tomorrow is near

 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

 When you speak low to me,

 Speak love to me and soon.
