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?



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?

How high is the sky?
