Lyrics
How can I tell you what is in my heart
How can I measure each and every part
How can I tell you how much I love you
How can I measure just how much I do?
Chorus
How much do I love you?
I’ll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky?
How many times a day
Do I think of you?
How many roses
Are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky?
Verse 2 (Lyric by Edward Montagu. British edition.)
How can you ask me if my love is true?
Question the stars which gleam in Heaven’s blue.
Love will endure and would you ask how long?
Hark to the strains of Love’s eternal song.
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
