C7/9   Gm9 C9                Gm9 
Speak low    when you speak, love 
C9          Gm9 C9       Gm9 C7  F6         D7    
Our summer day  withers away too soon, too soon 
       Bbm  Eb/9             Bbm     
Speak low   when you speak, love 
      Eb9       G9                 C9      
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, 
    C7/9            F6 D7 Gm7 C5  
We're swept apart, too    soon 
C7/9   Gm9 C9               Gm9 
Speak low,   darling, speak low 
C9         Gm9   C9            Gm9  C9  F6          D7     
Love is a spark, lost in the dark   too soon, too soon 
   Bbm     Eb9    Bbm      Eb9         G9

Tomorrow is here and always too soon 
Fm7                  Abm               
Time is so old and love so brief

Love is pure gold and time    a   thief 
C5    Gm9  C9               Gm9 
We're late, darling, we're late 
      C9        Gm9     C9        Gm9  C7   F6        D   
The curtain descends, ev'ry thing ends too soon, too soon 
   Bbm  Gm5-/7  F 
I wait, darling, I wait 
       Bb7/13- D7     G9               C7/9/13-      F 
Will you      speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

We're swept apart, too   soon
