How Deep Is the Ocean
Love's Depth: Exploring the Ocean of Emotion in Sonny Criss's Melody
Lyrics
How much do I love you?
Asking about the extent of love.
I'll tell you no lie
Promising honesty in the forthcoming statement.
How deep is the ocean?
Comparing the depth of emotions to the depth of the ocean.
How high is the sky?
Comparing the vastness of love to the height of the sky.
How many times a day do I think of you?
Frequency of thoughts about the person.
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
Symbolizing affection through the metaphor of dew-kissed roses.
How far would I travel
Expressing willingness to travel extensively to reach the person.
To be where you are?
Desire to be in the presence of the beloved.
How far is the journey
Reflecting on the distance between the current location and an unreachable celestial body, indicating the magnitude of separation.
From here to a star?
Metaphorically referring to an impossible distance.
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
Contemplating the emotional impact of losing the loved one.
How deep is the ocean?
Reiteration of the comparison between love's depth and the ocean's depth.
How high is the sky?
Reiterating the comparison between love's vastness and the sky's height.
How far would I travel
Reaffirming readiness to travel extensively for love.
To be where you are?
Desire to be in proximity to the beloved again.
How far is the journey
Reiterating the vastness of the distance, hinting at impossibility.
From here to a star?
Metaphorically emphasizing the unreachable.
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
Speculating on the emotional intensity of losing the loved one.
How deep is the ocean?
Restating the comparison between love's depth and the ocean's depth.
How high is the sky?
Restating the comparison between love's vastness and the sky's height.
How high is the sky?
Reiteration emphasizing the boundlessness of love.
