Speak Low chords by Sarah Vaughan

• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
      C                   G
Speak low when you speak, love
    F          C                Am        E
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
      C                   G
Speak low when you speak, love
    F         Am          E7
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
      F            Am         E     E7
we're swept apart, too soon

Verse 2:
      C             G
Speak low, darling, speak low
F                C                    Am        E
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
       F
I feel wherever I go
        C
That tomorrow is near,
            Am                  E      E7
tomorrow is here and always too soon

Chorus:
F                  C
Time is so old and love so brief
Am                    E                E7
Love is pure gold and time a thief

Verse 3:
      C              G
We're late, darling, we're late
F              C                          Am        E
The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon
        F
I wait, darling, I wait
C              Am               E              E7
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

Chorus:
F                  C
Time is so old and love so brief
Am                    E                E7
Love is pure gold and time a thief
