  • My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
    Softer than a sigh
    My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
    Wider than the sky
    My love is brighter than the brightest star
    That shines every night above
    And there is nothing in this world
    That can ever change my love

    Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
    Something that I never felt before
    You are always on my mind no matter what I do
    And everyday it seems that I want you more

    My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
    Softer than a sigh
    My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
    Wider than the sky
    My love is brighter than the brightest star
    That shines every night above
    And there is nothing in this world
    That can ever change my love
    Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
    Once I thought you'd never come my way
    Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
    For now I have to tell you every day

    My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
    Softer than a sigh
    My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
    Wider than the sky
    My love is brighter than the brightest star
    That shines every night above
    And there is nothing in this world
    That can ever change my love
    My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
    Softer than a sigh
    My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
    Wider than the sky
    My love is brighter than the brightest star
    That shines every night above
    And there is nothing in this world
    That can ever change my love Writer/s: TONY HATCH

  • Camille from Toronto, OhThis is an amazing song sung by a woman with an amazing voice. I love the rhythm, the speed, and the words. They all melt together like butter...mmmm....yummy good. The song leaves you feeling good. The song with a similar approach is Randy Travis's "(My Love Is) Deeper than the Holler". Well done, Petula.
  • Glenn from Simi Valley, CaActually, its not that Petula Clark didn't like the song, it would be more accurate to say that she didn't like the recording. She thought it was way too fast and wanted to do it as a slow ballad (she still feels that way, by the way!) But Tony Hatch felt differently, and thus we have the great recording we have now.
  • Daevid from Glendale, CaOnce again, Hal Blaine puts his signature style in this song with his drumming.
  • Tom from Largo, FlTony Hatch was putting the finishing touches on "The Life and Soul of the Party," scheduled to be Clark's follow-up single to "Round Every Corner," on a flight from London to Los Angeles, when the passenger sitting next to him commented that the title phrase held no significance in the States. Why he thought that is a mystery - but his incorrect info resulted in Hatch's quickly writing "My Love" as a substitute. Clark hated the song, was coerced into recording it, and then lost the battle when she fought Warner Brothers not to release it. The tune went to #1, Clark eventually recorded it in French, German, and Italian, as well, and to this day it's a staple of her concert repertoire.
