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      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      I love you baby like a flower loves the spring   And I love you baby just like Robin loves to sing   And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet   And I love you baby, 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
