Kurt Weill
Speak Low (Reprise)
[VENUS, spoken]
Rodney, can you hear me?
[RODNEY, spoken]
Are you alright?
[VENUS, spoken]
They want to take me away from you.
[RODNEY, spoken]
I won't let them.
(sung)
Speak low, when you speak love
Our summer day
Withers away
Too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here
And always too soon
[VENUS waves her arms and the cell doors open. RODNEY & VENUS emerge from their cells.]
[VENUS & RODNEY]
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
When you speak love?
