Speak LowGuy Lombardo(words by Ogden Nash; music by Kurt Weill)Introduced by Mary Martin in the musical "One Touch of Venus." Sung by Eileen Wilson (dubbed for Ava Gardner) and Dick Haymes in the 1948film 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 awayToo 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 goThat tomorrow is near, tomorrow is hereAnd 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 endsToo soon, too soon,I wait darling, I waitWill you speak low to me,Speak love to me and soon.From: Gloria "Montcomags"
