Closing Theme
Clyde McCoy & His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, ev'rything ends
Too soon, too soon,
I wait darling, I wait

Will you speak low to me,
Speak love to me and soon.

The singer of the song experiences love, which he refers to as the magic charms of his partner, and he embraces the experience with all his senses. He dreams of a life with his loved one, and he leaves behind all that is familiar to pursue his heart's desire. As the desert caravan travels across the sand, the singer falls asleep on his partner's shoulder, cherishing the moment and the memories they share.

Line by Line Meaning

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The darkness illuminated by the bright shining of stars above

The mystery of their fading light
The unknown cause of the stars' gradual dimming

That shines upon our caravan
The stars shine down on the group's traveling home

Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Rest your head on my shoulder as we move along carefully

Across the sand so I may keep
Traversing the sandy terrain so I can hold onto

The memory of our caravan
The reminiscence of our journey and camaraderie

This is so exciting
The present experiences are extremely invigorating

You are so inviting
You are attractive and alluring

Resting in my arms
Comfortably napping with me at your side

As I thrill to the magic charms
Feeling exhilarated by your enchanting appeal

Of you beside me here beneath the blue
You are next to me under the open sky
