Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Poignant Essence of 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Request to speak softly and tenderly when expressing love
Our summer day withers away
Describing the fleeting nature of a summer day
Too soon, too soon.
Emphasizing the premature end of the enjoyable time
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterating the need for soft and cautious speech in love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Comparing the brevity of their moment together to aimless, drifting ships
We're swept apart too soon.
Expressing the abrupt separation that occurs too early
Speak low, darling speak low,
Requesting to speak softly and discreetly
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Portraying love as something easily lost and obscured
Too soon, too soon,
Highlighting the feeling of love's brevity and quick disappearance
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a constant awareness that the future is imminent
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Conveying the sense that tomorrow arrives too quickly
And always too soon.
Stressing the perennially premature nature of events
Time is so old and love so brief,
Contrasting the vastness of time with the fleeting nature of love
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Depicting love as valuable but time as a thief stealing its essence
We're late darling, we're late,
Realization of being late or delayed in some aspect
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Symbolizing the end of everything as the curtain descends
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterating the premature conclusion of events
I wait darling, I wait
Expressing the anticipation of someone speaking softly
Will you speak low to me,
Asking for tender and loving speech
Speak love to me and soon.
Requesting the expression of love in speech soon
