About the song
“How Deep Is Your Love” is a classic pop ballad written and recorded by the Bee Gees in 1977. Released as a single in September of the same year, the song became an integral part of the soundtrack for the film *Saturday Night Fever*. Its soothing melody and heartfelt lyrics quickly captured the hearts of many, helping it climb the charts and become a beloved hit.
The song achieved significant success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States on December 24, 1977. This was the first of six consecutive number-one singles the Bee Gees would enjoy, a remarkable feat that underscored their dominance in the music industry at that time. “How Deep Is Your Love” held its place in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 17 weeks, setting a record that spoke volumes about its popularity.
In the UK and Australia, the song also made a mark, reaching number three on the charts. Its enduring appeal was later recognized when it was listed as number 23 in Billboard’s Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs, reflecting its lasting impact. Alongside other Bee Gees hits like “Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever,” it helped solidify the group’s position as one of the few artists with three songs on this prestigious list.
The song’s influence extends beyond its original release. In 1996, British band Take That covered “How Deep Is Your Love” for their Greatest Hits album, achieving a number one spot on the UK Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks. The Bee Gees’ track has also been featured in numerous films and TV shows, including *Donnie Brasco*, *Sex and the City*, and *The Simpsons*, illustrating its wide-reaching appeal.
Despite its initial plan to be recorded by Yvonne Elliman, the Bee Gees’ version became iconic. Barry Gibb, in a 2001 interview, revealed that “How Deep Is Your Love” is his personal favorite among the Bee Gees’ songs. This sentiment is shared by many, as evidenced by its selection as the “Nation’s Favorite Bee Gees Song” in a 2011 ITV special.
Overall, “How Deep Is Your Love” remains a timeless piece of music history, cherished by audiences across generations for its emotional depth and beautiful composition.

Lyrics
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You’re the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You’re my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me (na-na-na-na-na)
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me (na-na-na-na-na)
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
