Lyrics

How can I tell you what is in my heart?

Expressing difficulty in articulating the emotions in the heart.

How can I measure each and every part?

Questioning how to assess and understand each aspect of the emotions.

How can I tell you how much I love you?

Pondering the challenge of conveying the depth of love.

How can I measure just how much I do?

Questioning the ability to quantify the intensity of affection.


How much do I love you?

Posing the question about the extent of love without deception.

I'll tell you no lie

Asserting honesty in the forthcoming response about the depth of love.

How deep is the ocean?

Posing a rhetorical question about the vastness of emotions.

How high is the sky?

Using metaphorical language to inquire about the boundless nature of feelings.


How many times a day do I think of you?

Asking about the frequency of thoughts devoted to the person.

How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

Using roses and dew as symbols to question the abundance of affectionate thoughts.


How far would I travel

Questioning the distance one would travel to be with the loved one.

To be where you are?

Expressing the willingness to go any distance to be in the loved one's presence.

How far is the journey

Posing a hypothetical question about the length of the journey to a distant star.

From here to a star?

Using the concept of distance to illustrate the vastness of the journey.


And if I ever lost you

Considering the emotional impact of losing the loved one.

How much would I cry?

Asking about the extent of sorrow and emotional pain in the event of a loss.

How deep is the ocean?

Repeating the earlier metaphor to emphasize the profound nature of emotions.

How high is the sky?

Reiterating the use of metaphor to emphasize the limitless aspect of emotions.
