  • 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 have to sing this song about all the things I knew

    My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers
    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 a 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 rivers
    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

    My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers
    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
