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. Lyrics submitted by SongMeanings. Speak Low" as written by Ogden Nash Kurt Weill.
Once the musicians are chosen, the charts agonized over, the band rehearsed and the album recorded, comes the job of choosing how you want the album to sound; with what chart do you open the album; with what chart do you close; structuring the others pieces so that they provide an album with a blend of balanced tempo, voicing and rhythm to keep.
