How Deep Is Your Love
Saturday Night Fever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
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 need 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 need 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
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
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 need 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
Da da da da da
Ah
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really need 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
Da da da da da
Ah
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
The song “How Deep is Your Love” is a love ballad that was released on the soundtrack of the 1977 classic movie, “Saturday Night Fever”. This song is regarded as one of the Bee Gees’ greatest hits and exemplifies their ability to create touching, universal ballads that relate to everyone. The lyrics are about the depth of love that a person feels for another and the belief that the world is too harsh for true love to thrive. The singer establishes that they are deeply in love with their partner and that their love is the only thing that can keep them going in times of trouble.
The song’s lyrics capture the yearning of a person craving the touch of their loved one. The verses start with the lines, “I know your eyes in the morning sun, I feel you touch me in the pouring rain,” these lyrics illustrate that the singer knows their partner intimately and that they have an unbreakable bond that persists even in times of despair. The chorus then asks the question, “How deep is your love?” which is a probing question that inquires how much faith and love their partner has for them. In the final lines, the singer concludes that they “belong to you and me,” eliciting the idea that love is meant for two people who should remain together despite the distractions of the world.

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I am familiar with the way you look in the early morning
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
I feel your touch even when the rain is falling down
And the moment that you wander far from me
When you're away from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
I want to hold you in my arms once more
And you come to me on a summer breeze
You come to me casually and naturally
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
You provide comfort from your love but then leave without wanting to disturb the moment
And it's me you need to show
You need to prove your love for me
How deep is your love?
How much do you really love me?
I really need to learn
I need to know the answer
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Our world is foolish and misguided
Breaking us down
Causing a strain on us
When they all should let us be
Others shouldn't interfere with our relationship
We belong to you and me
Our love is shared between the two of us
I believe in you
I have faith in you
You know the door to my very soul
You understand me so deeply
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You bring me hope when I'm struggling
You're my savior when I fall
You save me when I need help the most
And you may not think I care for you
You might doubt my feelings for you
When you know down inside that I really do
But you should know that I do love you, deep down
Da da da da

The scenes after his friend dies and he walks away from his old life to hang onto his friendship and start a new growth into a man are just beautiful and to me really elevate this already good film into a real classic. The last scene with them both being supportive friends embracing each other gets to my old and cynical heart everytime! ❤️

It is about leaving a bad environment and growing. We all need to leave our comfort zones.

The last scene feels like such an honest moment, and I don't think "We'll be just friends" ever sounded so romantic in my life. This was Tony's biggest moment of growth and realization, so being that I don't think they could just stay friends. By the way she's drawn in close to him, it's apparent to me that he finally had grown into the man that she loved.

An absolute masterpiece of a film. We will never again see a film made that will reach people at such an emotional level

From 1978 to 1982 I had an intense relationship with a woman in New York. This was our song. I can't hear it now without a tear coming to my eye.
