Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Ephemeral Dance of Time
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Advocates for speaking softly in matters of love.
Our summer day withers away
Describes the fleeting nature of a summer day.
Too soon, too soon.
Expresses a sense of untimely and premature ending.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterates the importance of speaking quietly in love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Compares the brevity of their moment to drifting ships.
We're swept apart too soon.
Conveys a separation that occurs too soon.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encourages speaking softly in endearing terms.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Depicts love as a fleeting spark easily lost in darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterates the theme of premature endings in love.
I feel wherever I go
Expresses a constant awareness of the imminent future.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Highlights the closeness of tomorrow in the present.
And always too soon.
Stresses the perpetual feeling of things ending too soon.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Contrasts the age of time with the brevity of love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Metaphorically presents love as valuable gold and time as a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
Expresses a sense of lateness or missed opportunities.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Depicts the end of everything as a descending curtain.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterates the theme of untimely endings in love.
I wait darling, I wait
Expresses a longing and waiting for a love that may come too late.
Will you speak low to me,
Asks for a continuation of speaking softly in love.
Speak love to me and soon.
Requests the expression of love in soft words, emphasizing urgency.
