Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Profound Meaning Behind 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Advising to speak softly in matters of love.
Our summer day withers away
Describing the fleeting nature of a summer day.
Too soon, too soon.
Expressing the feeling that the summer day ends too quickly.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterating the importance of speaking quietly in love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Comparing the brevity of their moment to drifting ships.
We're swept apart too soon.
Feeling separated or torn apart prematurely.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encouraging the partner to speak softly in a loving manner.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Describing love as a spark that can be easily lost in darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterating the theme of love ending too soon.
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a sense of anticipation or foreboding wherever they go.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Highlighting the proximity of tomorrow, suggesting the imminent future.
And always too soon.
Emphasizing the perpetual feeling of things ending prematurely.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and the briefness of love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Metaphorically comparing love to pure gold and time to a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
Expressing regret or realization that they are running late.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Portraying the end of something, perhaps a relationship or an event.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterating the sentiment that things are ending too soon.
I wait darling, I wait
Expressing a sense of waiting, possibly for a continuation or resolution.
Will you speak low to me,
Pleading for the partner to speak softly or express love in a quiet manner.
Speak love to me and soon.
Requesting the partner to speak words of love soon.
