Speak Low
Guy Lombardo

Introduced by
Mary Martin in the musical "One Touch of
Venus."
Sung by Eileen Wilson (dubbed for Ava
Gardner) and Dick Haymes in the 1948
film
version of "One Tough of Venue."
Best-selling
record in 1944 by Guy Lombardo and His Royal
Canadians,
vocal by Billy Leach.

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.
