When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
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 grows stronger, 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
Et est-ce que je t'aime, oh mon dieu
Yeah river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ouais, rivière profonde, montagne haute, ouais, ouais, ouais
If I lost you would I cry
Si je te perdais, est-ce que je pleurerais
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh comme je t'aime bébé, bébé, bébé, bébé
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
Je t'aime bébé comme une fleur aime le printemps
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
Et je t'aime bébé tout comme Tina aime chanter
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
Et je t'aime bébé comme un écolier aime son animal
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Et je t'aime bébé, rivière profonde, montagne haute
Oh yeah, you've gotta believe me
Oh ouais, tu dois me croire
River deep and mountain high
Rivière profonde et montagne haute
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
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
