Finaletto: Speak Low Lyrics by Mary Martin, Kenny Baker

One Touch of Venus

1944

[RODNEY, spoken]
Why did you leave me?
You said I'd never be alone again

[RODNEY]
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, wе're late
The curtain dеscends
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon?

[ENSEMBLE]
We're late, darling we're late

[GIRL, spoken]
Excuse me
Could you tell me where I register for the art course?

[ENSEMBLE]
The curtain descends
Everything ends

[RODNEY, spoken]
Why, why yes
Where do you come from?

[ENSEMBLE]
Too soon, too soon

[GIRL, spoken]
Ozone Heights

[RODNEY, spoken]
Do you like it there?

[ENSEMBLE]
I wait

[GIRL, spoken]
Why, I wouldn't think of living any place else

[ENSEMBLE]
Darling, I wait

[RODNEY, spoken]
My, my name is Rodney Hatch

[GIRL, spoken]
Mine is–

[RODNEY, spoken]
You don't have to tell me
I know

[ENSEMBLE]
Will you speak love?
Will you speak love, and soon?
