Weill: One Touch of Venus: Speak Low

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 see 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

Everything ends

Too soon, too soon

I wait, darling, I wait

Will you speak low to me

Speak love to me, and soon?

Time is so old

And love so brief

Love is pure gold

And time a thief

It's late, darling, it's late

The curtain descends

Everything ends

Too soon, too soon

I wait, darling, I wait

Will you speak love to me?
