River Deep Mountain High

(album: For Once In My Life: A Celebration Of Motown - 2021)

When you were a little girl, you had a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I love you just the way you 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
Then it gets higher, day by day

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

When you were a young gal, did you have a puppy?
That always followed you around
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I ain't never let you down

'Cause it goes stronger like a river flows
And it gets sweeter, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows

Do I love you, my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh, I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy 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, I love you baby
Baby, baby, baby
