How Deep is Your Love Lyrics – Bee Gees

How Deep is Your Love Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer is saying that he knows his partner so well, even the small things about her feel comforting—like the look in her eyes when the sun rises. He can almost feel her presence even when she’s not there, like imagining her touch during a rainy moment. When she’s away or distant, he misses her deeply and just wants to hold her close again. It shows how emotionally attached he is to her, and how much he needs that closeness to feel complete.

[Pre-Chorus]
He compares her presence to a soft, warm summer breeze—gentle and calming. Her love makes him feel secure and cared for, but when she quietly leaves or pulls back, it leaves him wondering where he stands. He wants her to show him clearly how deeply she loves him. It’s like he’s asking for emotional clarity and reassurance, not because he doubts her, but because he needs to feel it more strongly.

[Chorus]
He keeps repeating the question, not just out of curiosity, but because he truly needs to understand the depth of her feelings. The world around them can be unkind—people judge, interfere, and try to create problems in their relationship. He calls them “fools” because they don’t see or understand the bond they share. Despite all that, he believes their love is strong enough to survive. He wants her to block out all the noise with him and focus on what they have, because, in his heart, he knows they belong to each other.

[Verse 2]
He opens up about how much he trusts and believes in her. She understands him better than anyone else and reaches parts of him no one else can. In his darkest and hardest moments, she brings hope and light. Whenever he falls or feels weak, she’s the one who picks him up and gives him strength. She’s more than just a partner—she’s his safe place.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes she might think he doesn’t show his feelings well or maybe seems distant, but that’s not true. Deep down, he really cares for her, more than she might realize. He’s just not great at always expressing it, so he wants her to look past the surface and see what he truly feels. Again, he’s asking her to show him how strong her love is too.

[Chorus]
He’s still asking the same question, and it’s clear now that this isn’t just a passing thought—it’s something that’s been sitting in his heart for a while. He genuinely wants to understand the depth of her love, not just through words, but through how she treats him and stays close despite everything. The world keeps trying to bring them down, with people who don’t understand or who get in the way. But he knows they don’t have to listen to all that. What really matters is the connection they have and how strong it is. He wants her to feel that too, and to hold onto it just like he does. They’re a team, and they belong together no matter what anyone else thinks.

[Bridge]
These lines don’t have words, but they add a soft, emotional pause in the music. It gives the listener a moment to feel the mood, almost like letting the emotions sink in without having to say anything.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, he talks about how she comes into his life like a peaceful summer breeze. Her love gives him warmth and comfort. But even when she quietly slips away, he’s left wanting more reassurance. He’s still hoping she’ll show him how much she truly cares, because that’s what he needs to hold on.

[Chorus]
The final chorus repeats the same heartfelt question: how deep is your love? But now, the repetition shows just how important it is to him. He’s not being dramatic—he’s being real. He wants to feel secure in their relationship, especially in a world that seems to always be trying to pull them apart. There’s frustration in how others keep interfering, but there’s also hope and confidence in how he sees their love. He’s convinced they’re meant to be together, and he wants her to feel that too. All he asks is that she shows him that her love is just as deep as his. The message is simple: in a world full of noise, their love should be the one thing they can both rely on.
