Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 love that rag doll
Only now my love has grown
[Verse 2]
It gets stronger in every way (Every way)
And it gets deeper, let me say (Let me say)
And it gets higher day by day, oh (Day by day)
[Verse 3]
Do I love you, oh, my, oh, my?
A river deep mountain high
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
'Cause it goes on and on like a river flows (A river flows)
And it gets sweeter,  baby,  and heaven knows (Heaven knows)
And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows, oh (As it grows)
[Verse 6]
Do I love you, oh, my, oh, my?
A river deep mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 7]
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you, honey, like a robin loves to sing
And I love you, baby, like a schoolboy loves his bag
Oh, I love you, honey, a river deep mountain high, babe
[Verse 8]
Baby
Ah
Oh, baby, oh, baby
[Verse 9]
Do I love you, oh, my, oh, my?
River deep mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby
