Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Timeless Tale in 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Cautioning to speak softly when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Describing the fading of a summer day.
Too soon, too soon.
Emphasizing that the day is ending too quickly.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterating the need to speak quietly in love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Comparing the fleeting nature of their moment to drifting ships.
We're swept apart too soon.
Expressing the separation that happens too soon.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encouraging the lover to speak softly.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Describing love as a spark easily lost in the dark.
Too soon, too soon,
Repeating the sentiment that things end prematurely.
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a constant feeling of proximity to tomorrow.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Highlighting the imminence of tomorrow's arrival.
And always too soon.
Repeating the theme that things always end too soon.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Metaphorically equating love to pure gold and time to a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
Expressing a sense of lateness or urgency.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Signifying the end with the descent of a curtain.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterating the idea that everything concludes too soon.
I wait darling, I wait
Expressing a sense of waiting for something.
Will you speak low to me,
Pleading for a quiet and gentle expression of love.
Speak love to me and soon.
Requesting the expression of love to come soon.
