There's a strong connection here. Cullum's grandparents were cabaret entertainers in Weimar Germany, German Jews who escaped to Britain. The sing "Speak Low" was written by Weimar composer ("3-Penny Opera") Kurt Weil. Weil too, a Jew, escaped to the US where he became a composer for shows and moves (e.g. "September Song") That said, Cullum is plain terrific!
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
Dunno if you guys cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks =)

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
