WELL, I'VE HEARD THOSE CITY SINGERS SINGIN' 'BOUT HOW THEY CAN LOVE DEEPER THAN THE OCEANS, HIGHER THAN THE
STARS ABOVE WELL, I COME FROM THE COUNTRY AND I
KNOW I AIN'T SEEN IT ALL BUT I HEARD THAT OCEAN'S SALTY AND THE
STARS, THEY SOMETIMES FALL AND THAT WOULD NOT DO JUSTICE TO THE
WAY I FEEL FOR YOU SO I HAD TO SING THIS SONG ABOUT ALL
THE THINGS I KNEW.
MY LOVE IS DEEPER THAN THE HOLLER.
STRONGER THAN THE RIVER HIGHER THAN THE PINE TREES GROWIN' TALL
UPON THE HILL MY LOVE IS PURER THAN THE SNOWFLAKES
THAT FALL IN LATE DECEMBER. AND HONEST AS A ROBIN ON A SPRINGTIME
WINDOW SILL AND LONGER THAN THE SONG OF A
WHIPPOORWILL.
FROM THE BACK ROADS TO THE BROADWAY
SHOWS WITH A MILLION MILES BETWEEN THERE'S AT LEAST A MILLION LOVE SONGS
THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO SING AND EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, AND
EVERYONE'S THE SAME AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF SAYIN'
THE SAME THING.
MY LOVE IS DEEPER THAN THE HOLLER,
STRONGER THAN THE RIVER HIGHER THAN THE PINE TREES GROWIN' TALL
UPON THE HILL MY LOVE IS PURER THAN THE SNOWFLAKES
THAT FALL IN LATE DECEMBER AND HONEST AS A ROBIN ON A SPRING-TIME
WINDOW SILL AND LONGER THAN THE SONG OF A
WHIPPOORWILL.

MY LOVE IS DEEPER THAN THE HOLLER,
STRONGER THAN THE RIVER HIGHER THAN THE PINE TREES GROWIN' TALL
UPON THE HILL MY LOVE IS PURER THAN THE SNOWFLAKES
THAT FALL IN LATE DECEMBER AND HONEST AS A ROBIN ON A SPRING-TIME
WINDOW SILL AND LONGER THAN THE SONG OF A
WHIPPOORWILL.
