(Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill)



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,

Were 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 here

Tomorrow is near

And always too soon



Time is so old

And love's 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

When you speak low to me,

Speak love to me and soon.
