How Deep...How High...

My favorite song of all
Is an Irving Berlin song
It starts out with a question
And ends with one more

My favorite song of all time
Its title are the lines
'How deep is the ocean,
how high is the sky? '

A song made up of questions
where two of them are
answered by the one
same question-answer

'How much do I love you?
I tell you no lies'

'And if I ever lost you,
How much would I cry? '

'HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN,
HOW HIGH IS THE SKY? '

Two different questions
The same answer twice
The answer still a question
(Now don't ask why!)

A hint of something elusive
Something undefined
A fitting answer to that
something I'm trying to find

My favorite song of all time
So poignant so sublime
It never fails to make me cry

How deep...how high...
