Speak Low - Jane Morgan

Jane Morgan and the Troubadors, from her 1957 "Fascination" album (KAPP KL-1066). This well-known song was originally from the musical "One Touch of Venus" (1943). Kurt Weill wrote the musc with lyrics by Ogden Nash.


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, everything ends too soon, too soon.
I wait, darling, I wait,
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon ...
