River Deep, Mountain High
Love's Unstoppable Journey: River Deep, Mountain High
Lyrics
When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Reflects on childhood, indicating ownership of a simple doll.
Only doll I've ever owned
Emphasizes the sole possession of the mentioned doll.
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
Expresses affection for the recipient, comparing their love to that for the rag doll.
But only now my love has grown
Highlights the growth of love over time, contrasting with the previous affection for the doll.
And it gets stronger, in every way
Portrays the increasing intensity of feelings in various aspects.
And it gets deeper, let me say
Emphasizes the deepening of emotions.
And it gets higher, day by day
Indicates the rising nature of emotions with time.
And do I love you, my oh, my
Ponders the depth of affection with admiration.
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Compares the intensity of emotions to powerful natural elements, symbolizing profound love.
And if I lost you, would I cry
Questions the emotional reaction if the loved one were lost.
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Reiterates the depth of affection using endearing terms.
When you were a young boy, did you have a puppy?
Queries about the past experiences of the recipient.
That always followed you around? Oh, yeah
Recalls a familiar scenario of a young boy and his loyal pet.
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
Promises unwavering faithfulness and commitment.
No, I'll never let you down
Declares dedication similar to the constancy of a flowing river.
'Cause they grow stronger like a river flows
Compares the strength and continuity of emotions to the flow of a river.
And it gets bigger, baby, and heaven knows
Highlights the increasing magnitude of emotions, emphasizing their growth.
And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows
Expresses the sweetness of emotions as they develop.
And do I love you, my, oh, my
Reaffirms the depth of affection, questioning it in an admiring tone.
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeats the comparison of love to a powerful force of nature.
And if I lost you, would I cry?
Raises the hypothetical scenario of losing the beloved and the emotional response.
Oh, how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
Expresses deep affection using affectionate terms.
I love you, baby, like a flower loves the spring
Compares the intensity of love to the beauty of spring and its blossoms.
And I love you, baby, just like Tina loves to sing
Compares love to the passion for singing, drawing parallels to Tina Turner's fervor.
And I love you, baby, like a school boy loves his pet
Draws a comparison between love and a schoolboy's attachment to a pet.
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high
