Speak Low
Whispers of Ephemeral Love: Bobby Montez's Speak Low
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Speak softly and with restraint when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Our enjoyable summer day is fading away.
Too soon, too soon.
It's happening too quickly, too soon.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Continue to speak in a subdued manner about love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Our shared moment is passing swiftly, like aimless ships at sea.
We're swept apart too soon.
We are separated abruptly.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Speak in a low voice, my dear.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love is a fleeting spark easily lost in the darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
It ends prematurely, too soon.
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a sense of being followed by the awareness that tomorrow is imminent.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
The feeling that the future is close, almost here.
And always too soon.
However, it always comes too soon.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Time is ancient, while love is fleeting.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Love is valuable like pure gold, but time steals it away.
We're late darling, we're late,
We are running late, my dear.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
The end is approaching; everything concludes too soon.
Too soon, too soon,
Expressing the urgency of waiting, as the curtain descends on life's events.
I wait darling, I wait
Waiting with impatience for something that will happen too soon.
Will you speak low to me,
Asking to speak softly, expressing a desire for a gentle and loving conversation.
Speak love to me and soon.
Asking for the expression of love in a soft and tender manner, and anticipating it soon.
