When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way
I loved that rag doll
But only now
my love has grown
And it gets stronger
in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep mountain high
Yeah yeah yeah
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby baby baby
When you were a young boy
did you have a puppy
That always followed
you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful
as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
'Cause it grows stronger
like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby
And heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby
as it grows
And do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep mountain high
Yeah yeah yeah
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby baby baby
I love you baby
like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby
like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby
like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby
River deep mountain high
Baby
Baby
Yeah
Oh yeah
Do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep mountain high
Yeah yeah yeah
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby
Baby baby baby
