time is so old and love so brief
love is pure gold and time a thief
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
ev'rything ends too soon
too soon
i wait
oh darling
i wait
will you speak low to me
speak love to me and 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
ev'rything 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
and soon
speak love
speak love
speak love
