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

But only now my love has grown

[Verse 2]

And it gets stronger in every way

And it gets deeper, let me say

And it gets higher, day by day

[Verse 3]

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

[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 will never let you down

[Verse 5]

'Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows

And it gets bigger, baby, and heaven knows

And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

Do I love you, my oh my

River deep, mountain high

If I lost you would I cry

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