Billie Holiday - Speak Low |
|
|
|
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, darling I wait |
|
Will you speak low to me, |
|
Speak love to me and soon. |
