When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll; 
The only doll I 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? 
Yeah, river deep mountain high. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
And 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 goes on and on like a river flows. 
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows 
That it gets sweeter baby, as it grows. 

And do I love you my oh my? 
Yeah, river deep mountain high. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
And if I lost you, would I cry? 
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby. 

Well I love you baby like the flowers love the spring 
And I love you baby like the bluebirds love to sing 
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his pie 
And I love you baby river deep and mountain high 

And do I love you my oh my? 
Yeah, river deep mountain high. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
And if I lost you, would I cry? 
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby.
