That's how much I love you
But my heart goes deeper.

I've got scars all over from the jaws of life
From valor and folly in the cause of life
I've been petted and clawed by the paws of life
But my heart goes deeper.

Since you've been with me I've known the depth of you,
Felt, seen and tasted the length and breadth of you,
Feared once or twice I'd be the death of you
But my heart goes deeper.

We've got time to make the money and time to pay the bills
And we wash the clothes and dishes
And we know all the drills
And are we killing time or is it time that kills us
When we slide on the surface?

Walk on the water with me, walk on the sun,
Walk through the valley of the shadow
'Til we learn how to run
'Cause the root of all evil lies in everyone
But our hearts go deeper.

I love the way you stand up in your kindness and grace,
I love the way compassion is at home in your face,
I love the way you hold me in an honest embrace
But my heart goes deeper.

In the vacant stare, in the cripple's chair, in the anger's flare
(the heart goes deeper) underneath
In the silent night, in the giddy flight, in the blinding fright
(the heart goes deeper) underneath
