Lyrics

When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll?
The only one you ever owned
Well, I love you just the way you loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger as the river flows
And it gets deeper, heaven knows
And it gets wider, baby, as the river flows
And do I love you, my, oh my?
Yeah, river deep mountain high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh I said, how I love you, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around?
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
My love will never let you down
And it gets stronger as the river flows
And it gets deeper, baby, and heaven knows
And it gets wider baby, as the river flows
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
Hmm, oh
I love you, baby, like a flower loves the spring
And I love you, baby, like Robin loves to sing
And I love you, baby, like a school boy loves his sight
And I love you, baby, river deep mountain high, yeah
Woah, oh-oh-oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
Oh, do I love you, my, oh my?
I said river deep, mountain high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry? Yeah
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby
