Speak low when you speak, love,
Keep your voice down when you confess your love,

Our summer day withers away
The time we had together was short and fleeting like the summer day that comes to an end

Too soon, too soon.
It ended sooner than we had expected

Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Our time together was brief and fleeting, like two ships passing in the night

We're swept apart too soon.
We got separated from each other too soon

Speak low, darling speak low,
Please speak softly, my love

Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Love is powerful but fragile and can be easily lost in the darkness of life's challenges

Too soon, too soon,
The time we had together was not long enough

I feel wherever I go
I feel no matter where I go

That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
The future is uncertain and can come too soon

And always too soon.
It always comes too soon

Time is so old and love so brief,
Time is infinite, love is not

Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Love is priceless and timeless while time slips away like a thief

We're late darling, we're late,
It's too late, my love, we didn't have enough time together

The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Everything comes to an end eventually

Too soon, too soon,
It ended sooner than we had expected

I wait darling, I wait
I'm waiting for you, my love

Will you speak low to me,
Will you whisper sweet nothings to me

Speak love to me and soon.
Confess your love to me soon
