Kurt Weill
Speak Low (Live at Sony Studios, New York City, NY - April 1994)
[Live Intro]
Thank you so much
Thank you for coming by

[Chorus]
Time is so old
And love, so brief
Love is pure gold
And time, a thief

[Live Interlude]
Thank you

[Verse 1]
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
We slept apart too soon

[Verse 2]
Speak low, when you speak love
Love is a spark lost in the dark
Too soon, too soon
I feel that wherever I go
That tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here
And always too soon
[Chorus]
Time is so old
And love, so brief
Love is pure gold
And time, a thief

[Verse 3]
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak lowly?
Speak love to me?
Speak low to me?
And soon, speak low
Speak low, speak love

[Live Outro]
You are beautiful
