How Deep Is Your Love?

“When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find
it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see
that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”

- Khalil Gibran
(06 Jan 1883 - 06 Apr 1931)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

I like this song.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Deep_is_Your_Love%3F:

"How Deep Is Your Love" is a song recorded by the Bee Gees in 1977. Originally intended for Yvonne Elliman, it was ultimately used as part of the soundtrack to the film Saturday Night Fever. It was a number three hit in the UK. In the U.S., it topped the Billboard Hot 100 on 24 December 1977 and stayed in the Top 10 for a then-record 17 weeks. The song also spent six weeks atop the U.S. adult contemporary chart. The song was ranked #366 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Along with "Stayin' Alive", it is one of the group's two songs on the list. The song also lists at #20 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.^[1] It was famously covered by Take That for their 1996 Greatest Hits album, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks.

HEALTH UPDATE:

From The Incomparable Charis Bean Duke (Governor Thomas Johnson HS, MD - '85) of PA - 06/30/14:

...Wow. I am so touched by your love and support. It is humbling. Thank you. And I want you to know that your faith, prayers, and good wishes were not in vain. The doctor removed the left half of my thyroid (the half with the tumor) and sent it to the lab for testing while I was still under. The test came back benign, which was completely unexpected. The doctors felt certain it was cancerous, particularly because of the sonogram results. So he left the other half in and sewed me back up! They will run it through some more tests in the next two days, so there could be some cancer hiding in there, but the doctor was enthusiastic and pleased. As am I. I am home right now because I felt so good they let me leave. I'm not even on any pain meds. I think it's a miracle, and I am grateful beyond words for each and every one of you...

WOWZERONI! What great news! Thank you for letting us know, Charis!

How Deep is Your Love?

Written by Barry (b. 01 Sept 1946), Robin (b. 22 Dec 1949), and Maurice Gibb (22 Dec 1949 – 12 Jan 2003)

Recorded by The Bee Gees, 1977

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 need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ 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 saviour 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 need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

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 need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
