Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Poignant Essence in 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Caution to speak softly when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Our enjoyable summer day is fading.
Too soon, too soon.
Expresses the feeling of time passing too quickly.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiteration of the need to speak softly in love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Describes the fleeting nature of the present moment.
We're swept apart too soon.
Indicates a separation that happens abruptly.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encourages speaking softly in a tender manner.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love is fragile and easily extinguished in darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterates the theme of love ending prematurely.
I feel wherever I go
The speaker senses the proximity of tomorrow.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Tomorrow is imminent and already here.
And always too soon.
Emphasizes the constant 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.
Love is portrayed as valuable, but time steals it away.
We're late darling, we're late,
Expresses a sense of being late or delayed.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Highlights the inevitability of endings as the curtain falls.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterates the idea that everything concludes too soon.
I wait darling, I wait
The speaker is waiting, anticipating something more.
Will you speak low to me,
The request to speak softly is repeated.
Speak love to me and soon.
Asking for the expression of love in a gentle manner.
