Speak Low
Whispered Love's Fleeting Echo
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Speak softly or in a subdued manner when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Our enjoyable time together in the summer is fading.
Too soon, too soon.
It's ending prematurely, before we expected or wanted.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Continue speaking quietly when expressing affection.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Our time together is passing swiftly, like aimless ships at sea.
We're swept apart too soon.
We're being separated abruptly.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Keep your voice hushed, my dear.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love feels fleeting, easily lost in obscurity.
Too soon, too soon,
Love ends prematurely, before we're ready.
I feel wherever I go
I sense that regardless of where I am,
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Tomorrow, the future, feels imminent, almost present.
And always too soon.
But it always arrives too quickly.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Time feels extensive while love feels fleeting.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Love is precious, but time steals it away.
We're late darling, we're late,
We're running behind in our connection.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Events are concluding, everything is coming to an end.
Too soon, too soon,
Things are ending prematurely, before they should.
I wait darling, I wait
I'm waiting, anticipating.
Will you speak low to me,
Will you express your affection quietly to me?
Speak love to me and soon.
Speak of love to me soon.
