How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie -Irving Berlin wrote the song in 1932. I found videos of covers by Peggy Lee/Benny Goodman, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Etta James, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles. I'll embed here a brief cinema version by Bing Crosby because it was recorded in 1946 - a year that has a certain resonance for me.
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 lose you how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

The Bill Evans Trio does a nice version of it too.

Wow - that is a touching song.
ReplyDeletePhil - for a really moving Clapton song, listen to "Tears in Heaven" after reading the backstory -
