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 want to 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
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 need 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

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
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Da da da da da

Ah
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need 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

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be

Often thought of as one of New Jack Swing’s one-hit wonder groups, Portrait is a vocal quartet made up of South Central, L.A. natives Michael Angelo Saulsberry and Eric Kirkland, Irving Washington III of Providence, Rhode Island, and Phillip Johnson of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They made it big with their 1992 hit “Here We Go Again!” The track reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Portrait lent their vocals to various projects in the two years following the release of their debut self-titled album, including the Quincy Jones track “Slow Jams” on the 1994 album Q’s Jook Joint.

They released their second album, All That Matters, in 1995, which didn’t receive as much commercial success as their debut album, leading them to decide to focus on catering to a Japanese audience with their third album, Picturesque, in 1996.
