Speak Low Songtext
von Dee Dee Bridgewater

Speak low, when you speak low
Our summer day
Withers away
Too soon, too soon

Speak low, when you speak low
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 fear 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
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
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon

I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me


Speak low, speak low
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon
