Kurt Weill
Speak Low
[Verse 1]
Speak low, when you speak love
Our summer day
Withers away
Too soon, too soon
Speak low, when you speak love
Our moment is swift
Like ships adrift
We're swept apart too soon

[Verse 2]
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]
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief
[Verse 3]
We're late (We're late), darling, we're late (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
And soon?

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Slow to me?
Oh please, just don't say no to me
Let it flow to me
Slow to me
Soon
Soon

[Outro]
Soon
Soon
Darling, speak low to me
Darling, speak slow to me
Woah
Mmm
