Time is so old and Love is so brief but Love is pure gold and Time is the thief .........
Speak............ low ..........................................when you speak Love.........................................................our summer
low...........................................darling speak low...........................................................Love is a
day.............whithers away too soon, too soon speak
spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon I
low.......................................................when you speak Love........................................................our moment is
feel......................................................whenever I go..................................................that.... to morrow is
swift like ships ad-rift, we're swept apart too soon...................................................................Speak
wait.............................................................oh, darling I wait................I wait, will you speak
low to me; speak Love to me, too soon ?
low to me....... speak love to me speak low to me speak love to me too
The opening line of this song is a misquote of a line in Shakespere's Much Ado About Nothing where it was spoken by Don Pedro..
Kurt Weill (1900 - 1950) was both Jewish and German! He composed for the stage, the concert hall, for piano and for strings. His best known stage work was "Threepenny Opera" which included the ballad, "Mack the Knife". He fled to the USA prior to WW2 where he collaberated with his countryman, Bertolt Brecht. His philosophy was that music should have some useful social purpose - hence his foray into many genres, always seeking a fresh audience.
Frederick Ogden Nash (1902-1971) was an American Poet who wrote light humerous verse with quirky rhymes. He collaberated with Weill on several albums.
In this arrangement the bridge has interesting dystonal progressions.
