Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold, time a thief
Speak low when you speak love
Our summer's 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, everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, oh 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's a thief
We're late, we're late, darling
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?
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon?
And soon, speak low, speak low
Speak low, speak love
