Lyrics One Touch of Venus: Speak Low - Anne Sofie von Otter feat. NDR Sinfonieorchester & John Eliot Gardiner

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 see wherever I go
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
And 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?
And soon
