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, let me say
  And it gets higher, day by day
    And do I love you my oh my
  Yeh 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
  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
  Yeh river deep, mountain high
  If I lost you would I cry
  Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
    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 gotta believe me
  River Deep, Mountain High
  Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
  River deep, mountain high
  If I lost you would I cry
  Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
