How Deep Is Your Love
Bee Gees Lyrics

The lyrics of Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love” are a contemplative expression of love, devotion, and the need for reassurance in a world that is constantly breaking people down. The singer is deeply in love with their partner, and they are keen on understanding the depth and sincerity of their partner’s feelings. The song starts with lines that evoke vivid imagery of how familiar the singer is with their partner – they know their partner’s “eyes in the morning sun” and feel their touch “in the pouring rain.” However, there is a sense that the singer is aware that love can be fleeting and that it takes effort to keep it alive – “And the moment that you wander far from me / I wanna feel you in my arms again.”

In the chorus, the singer asks their partner, “How deep is your love?” four times, with a longing to understand the sincerity of their partner’s feelings. The singer desires to learn the depth of their lover’s commitment for them, and they believe that understanding this depth will help them navigate the perils of the outside world. The singer acknowledges that the outside world is full of “fools,” people who are always “breaking us down when they all should let us be,” but the understanding of the strength of their love will enable them to rise above these challenges.

The song’s closing lines once again emphasize the need for reassurance in love. The singer repeats the chorus twice more, desperate for their partner to answer the question, “how deep is your love?” The song ends with a passionate declaration that the singer and their partner belong together, forever. The song’s sweet romantic tone, evocative lyrics, and emotional depth combine to present a classic love ballad that stands the test of time.
