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
