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 loved that rag doll
Only now, my love has grown
It gets stronger in every way
Every way
It gets deeper, let me say
Let me say
And it gets higher day by day
Day by day
[Chorus]
Do I love you, my, oh my
Are rivers deep, mountains high?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby
Baby, baby, baby
[Verse 2]
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
Always followed you around?
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never let you down
It goes on and on, like a river flows
River flows
And it gets sweeter, baby, and heaven knows
Heaven knows
Ahh, sweeter, baby, as it grows
As it grows
[Chorus]
Do I love you, my, oh my
Yeah, rivers deep, mountains high, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby
Baby, baby, baby
[Bridge]
I love you, baby, like a flower loves the spring
And I love you, honey, like a robin loves to sing
Oh, I love you, baby, like a school boy loves his pet
Oh, I love you, honey, rivers deep, mountains high, oh
[Bridge]
Baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Do I love you, my, oh my
I say, rivers deep, mountains high, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby
Baby, baby, baby
