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?
