E
When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
A                         E
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I'll love you just the way
You loved that rag doll
A                      E
Only now my love has grown

           B                    E
It gets stronger as the river flows
 B            E
Deeper baby, heaven knows
 B             E
Higher, as it goes

Chorus:
D
Do I love you, my oh my
E
River Deep, Mountain High
Yeah, yeah, yeah
D
Do I love you, would I cry
E
Oh I love you baby
How I love you baby

When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm going to be
As faithful as that puppy
No I'll never never let you down

Because it gets stronger
As the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher
So much higher, as it goes

Chorus:
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby
How I love you baby

I love you baby
Like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby
Like a robin likes to sing
I love you baby
Like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby
River deep, mountain high

Chorus:
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby
How I love you baby
