Harry Nilsson – River Deep, Mountain High lyrics
When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll;
The 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;
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
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;
And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows

And do I love you, my oh my;
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
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 can love you, baby, like a robin loves to sing
And I love you, baby, like a schoolboy loves his pad;
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high
