Louis Shalako
Speak
softly my love, for the heart can never lie.
Speak
softly to me, and lover, please don’t cry.
Speak
softly my love, speak softly—
Speak
softly, my love…for our love shall never die.
...speak softly, my love.
Speak low.
Speak softly to me my love
Speak softly and tell me
Please tell me
That you will never go.
To fall in love, is to be young again
And to count the cost
Is to die a little bit inside.
