Bee Gees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me (na-na-na-na-na)
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me (na-na-na-na-na)
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
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 narrator 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 narrator 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 narrator 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 narrator asks their partner, “How deep is your love?” four times, with a longing to understand the sincerity of their partner’s feelings. The narrator 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 narrator 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 narrator 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 narrator 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.

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I recognize the captivating look in your eyes when the sun rises
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
I sense your gentle touch amidst the heavy rainfall
And the moment that you wander far from me
When you drift away from me,
I wanna feel you in my arms again
I yearn to embrace you in my arms once more
And you come to me on a summer breeze
You approach me on a cooling summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
Your affection warms me up, and you depart softly
And it's me you need to show
You ought to demonstrate your love for me
How deep is your love?
To what extent do you love me?
I really mean to learn
I am genuinely interested in discovering the answer
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
'Cause we reside in a world inhabited by foolish people
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
They torment us instead of leaving us in peace
We belong to you and me
Our relationship is between the two of us
I believe in you
I have faith in you
You know the door to my very soul
You understand my innermost being perfectly
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You are the beacon of hope during my bleakest moments
You're my savior when I fall
You rescue me when I am down
And you may not think I care for you
You may not realize how much I care about you
When you know down inside that I really do
But you should know deep within that I genuinely do care

My mother died when i was 13 years old.
This was her favorite song, she used to sing this to me sometimes at night before going to sleep.
I miss you mom, gone but never forgotten!

No autotune, no background music to assist, no filters. Just straight up musical talent. These guys had it in droves.

@xxIONBOMBxx No, it's actually not auto-tune. If you isolate the vocal tracks, you can see that they had amazing harmony. I'm a former musician, for decades. Music in general, has been declining now, since approximately 1984. Newer artists haven't been singing to the same standards of the actual music schools, since then.
Their are few artists since then, which are very good ( held to those standards ).

Well, the equivalent of autotune is layered audio tracks and that's basically what they were doing with harmonizing. Still very neat

That's awesome thanks for being you to tell that story 😅 👍👍
