Kurt Weill
Speak Low
[Intro: Tony Bennett & Norah Jones]
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett & Norah Jones]
Speak low, when you speak love
Our summer's day
Withers away
Too soon, too soon
Speak low, when you speak love
Our moment is swift
Like ships adrift
Swept apart too soon

[Verse 2: Tony Bennett & Norah Jones]
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark
Lost in the dark
Too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here
And always too soon
[Bridge: Tony Bennett]
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief

[Verse 3: Both, Norah Jones, Tony Bennett]
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, oh darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon?

[Bridge: Tony Bennett & Norah Jones]
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time's a thief

[Verse 3: Tony Bennett, Norah Jones & Both]
We're late (We're late)
Darling, we're late (Darling, we're late)
The curtain descends
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon?
[Outro: Tony Bennett & Norah Jones]
And soon
Speak low
Speak love
Speak low
Speak love
