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?

(bridge)

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 much would I cry?
How high is the sky?
