How Deep Is The Ocean.



The OH SO BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED, Peggy Lee.


I love a good love song. And I feel like all of the good love songs were produced during the "big band" time...performed by singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, so on and so forth. I love the simplicity of the words, and the delicacy in which they are delivered. My latest favorite is titled "How Deep Is The Ocean".

How Deep Is The Ocean

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?



Billie Holiday.
