River Deep – Mountain High Songtext
von Harry Nilsson

When I was a little boy, she had a rag doll
The only doll she′d ever owned
Now, she loves me just the way she loved that rag doll
But only now her love has grown

Yeah, but it gets stronger, baby, in every way
Oh, and it gets deeper, baby, and let me say
Oh, that it gets higher, baby, ah day by day

Do I love you? My, my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you? Would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby

Heh! When I was a little boy, I had a puppy
That always followed me around
And now, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I′ll never let you down


Oh and it goes on and on as the river flows
And it gets deeper, baby, and Heaven knows
Oh, and it gets sweeter, baby, but as it grows

Do I love you? My, oh, my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you? Would I cry?
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, my baby

Yeah, 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 pie
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high

Ahhh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do I love you? My, oh, my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you? Would I cry?
Oh, I how love you baby, baby, baby
