Weill: One Touch of Venus: Speak Low

Speak low

When you speak loud

Our summer day

Went thus away

Too soon, too soon

Speak low

When you speak loud

Our moment is swift

Like ships adrift

We're swept apart too soon

Speak low

Oh 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 short

And life so brief

Love is pure gold

And time a thief

We're late

Darling, we're late

The curtain descends

And everything ends

Too soon, too soon

We're late

Oh darling, we're late

Will you speak low to me

Speak love to me

And soon

Time is short

And life so brief

Love is pure gold

And time a thief

We're late

Darling, we're late

The curtain descends

And everything ends

Too soon, too soon

I wait

Darling, I wait

Will you speak low to me

Speak love to me

And soon?

And soon

And soon

And soon

So soon

Speak low to me and soon
