Once upon a time, I loved only a doll—
that was so very long ago.
But in my heart I feel the same love
now that I feel it for you.
It gets stronger
everyday that goes by,
and it is higher
than heaven, you know.
And it is deeper
than a river now.
How high is the bright sky—
how deep is the dark river!
But my love for you
goes higher,
goes deeper!
Once I didn't want to fall in love
out of fear of suffering.
I did not know there was so much joy
as that I have from you.
It gets stronger
everyday that goes by,
and it is higher
than heaven, you know.
And it is deeper
than a river now.
How high is the bright sky—
how deep is the dark river!
But my love for you
goes higher,
goes deeper.

How high is the bright sky—
how deep is the dark river!
But my love for you
goes higher,
goes deeper.
