An interesting combination of songs by Liberace, playing Love Letters (1945) while reciting How Do I Love Thee (1850) (posted by request) How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. LOVE LETTERS The sky may be starless, The night may be moonless, But deep in my heart there's a glow. For deep in my heart I know that you love me. You love me because you told me so. CHORUS: Love letters straight from your heart Keep us so near while apart. I'm not alone in the night When I can have all the love you write. *I memorize ev'ry line, I kiss the name that you sign. And, darling, then I read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart. I memorize ev'ry line, I kiss the name that you sign. And, darling, then I read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart.
