Singalong! River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner

My friend has been sending me videos from his trip to Vegas to see Celine Dion, including several clips of her singing River Deep Mountain High. Now, I LOVE Celine, and I love her cover of this song because she really gives in and goes crazy every time she performs it. HOWEVER, nothing beats Tina's original performance of the song. Listening to this made me realize I need to listen to some more early Tina Turner.

RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH

Tina Turner

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

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

Yeah river deep, mountain high

If I lost you would I cry

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring

And I love you baby just like Robin loves to sing

And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet

And I love you baby, river deep mountain high

Do I love you my oh my, oh baby

River deep, mountain high

If I lost you would I cry

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
