The Bee Gees were three brothers – Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb – who became one of music’s most successful groups.
Starting in the late 1960s, they mixed perfect harmonies with emotional songwriting, but it was their transformation into disco kings in the mid-70s that made them global stars.
Their distinctive falsetto sound, led by Barry’s voice, created massive hits like “How Deep Is Your Love,” while they wrote countless hits for other artists too.

How Deep is Your Love Lyrics by Bee Gees
Verse 1
I know your eyes in the mornin’ sun
I feel you touch me in the pourin’ rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
Pre-Chorus
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?
Chorus
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Verse 2
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You’re the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You’re my saviour when I fall
Pre-Chorus
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?
Chorus
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Pre-Chorus
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?
Chorus
How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn (I really mean to learn)
‘Cause we’re livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ 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 livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ 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 livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
