Speak Low Lyrics by Eileen Wilson, Dick Haymes

Kurt Weill in Hollywood

0

[VENUS, spoken]
So that's how you fall in love. 
(sung)
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
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
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief
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?
[VENUS and EDDIE kiss.]
[JOE]
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
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark
Lost in the dark
Too soon, too soon
[JOE and GLORIA kiss.]
[VENUS]
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief
[VENUS & JOE]
We're late, darling, we're late
[VENUS]
The curtain descends
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon
[VENUS & JOE]
I wait, darling, I wait
[VENUS]
Will you speak love
[JOE]
Will you speak love
[VENUS & JOE]
To me?
