ΑΘΑΝΑΤΕΣ ΕΠΙΤΥΧΙΕΣ

"Speak Low!":αγέραστη επιτυχία του Kurt Weill, 
σε στίχους του Ogden Nash. Πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκε από τους 
Mary Martin και  Kenny Baker στο One Touch of Venus , 
μιούζικαλ που ανέβηκε στο Μπροντγουέι , το 1943. 
Από τις άπειρες εκτελέσεις του, ξεχωρίζει αυτή
 της αξέχαστης Μπίλι Χολιντέι. 

  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, everything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and 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, everything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon
Speak low
