When i was a little girl i had a rag doll,
The only doll i’ve ever own.
And now i love you just the way
I loved that rag doll,
Only now my love has grown.
And it gets stronger in every way,
It gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher than i get.
Do i love you? my, oh my.
River deep, mountain high.
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,
You know i’ll never let you down.
‘cause it grows stronger like a river flow,
And it gets bigger, baby, than heaven knows
It gets free as it grows.
Do i love you? my, oh my.
River deep, mountain high.
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 rabin loves a saint,
And i love you, honey, like a school mom loves her babe.
And i love you, baby, river deep, mountain high.
You know i love you, baby, baby, yes i do.
Do i love you? my, oh my.
River deep, mountain high.
If i lost you would i cry?
Oh, how i love you, baby, baby, baby, baby.
You know i love you, yeah, yeah.
