Lyrics Speak Low - Bill Evans Trio, Scott LaFaro, Paul Motian

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
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
