Billie Holiday - Speak Low lyrics
[Billie Holiday - Speak Low lyrics]
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
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 speak low
