When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll;

The 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 goes on and on, 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 can love you, baby, like a robin loves to sing

And I love you, baby, like a schoolboy loves his pad;

And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high
