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 baby, let me say

And it gets higher, day by day

oohhhh do I love you my oh my

Yeah 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 going to 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

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 just like Tina loves to sing

And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet

And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high

Oh yeah you've got to believe me

River deep, mountain high

If I lost you would I cry

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
