Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Ephemeral Dance of Time
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Emphasizes the need for discretion and subtlety when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Describes the fleeting nature of a summer day, symbolizing the transient nature of happiness.
Too soon, too soon.
Expresses a sense of untimely loss or the feeling that joy is slipping away too quickly.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterates the importance of speaking softly in the context of love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Compares the brevity of their moment together to ships drifting apart, suggesting a separation.
We're swept apart too soon.
Highlights the idea of being swept apart from a loved one too soon.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encourages maintaining a low and intimate tone while expressing affection.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Portrays love as a fragile spark easily lost in the darkness of life.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterates the theme of premature loss, emphasizing the transient nature of love.
I feel wherever I go
Expresses a sense of uncertainty and the anticipation of an impending separation.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Suggests the inevitability of the future and the proximity of tomorrow, which may bring separation.
And always too soon.
Conveys the idea that events or separations occur sooner than expected.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Contrasts the agelessness of time with the briefness of love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Metaphorically describes love as precious gold and time as a thief stealing that precious commodity.
We're late darling, we're late,
Acknowledges a delay or tardiness, possibly in realizing the fleeting nature of their time together.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Depicts the end of an event or relationship as a curtain descending, emphasizing finality.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterates the theme of things ending prematurely, possibly expressing regret.
I wait darling, I wait
Expresses a sense of waiting, possibly for a return or reconciliation.
Will you speak low to me,
Poses a question about continuing to speak softly or express love.
Speak love to me and soon.
Reiterates the desire for the continuation of tender and low-spoken expressions of love.
