Speak Low Lyrics - Bill Crow

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.
