TINA ON ANGEL MUSIC

TINA ON ANGEL MUSICListening to UK’s greatest radio station Angel Music pretty much non-stop these days – playing music from the 1920s through to 1960s with a kind of radical defiance. The most joyful and melancholy radio station on earth! We adore it here at The Vampire’s Wife. Just listened to the great Tina Turner, singing River Deep, Mountain High! What a performance! What a song! Love Susie x

River Deep, Mountain High

 

When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll

It was the only doll that 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, deeper, deeper, let me say

Then it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you, my oh my

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, (river deep, Lord, mountain high)

Oh no, no, if I ever, ever lost you would I cry

Oh, how I love you baby (baby, baby, baby)

Well now, when you were a young boy

Did you have a puppy?

That always followed you 'round, 'round, 'round

'Round, 'round, 'round

Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy

And no, I ain't never gonna let you down

'Cause it goes on and on like a river flows

Lord, it gets sweeter, sweeter, sweeter, and heaven knows

And it gets sweeter, baby, oh, as it grows

And do I love you, my oh my

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord (river deep Lord, mountain high)

I wanna tell you that if I ever, ever, ever lost you would I cry

Oh, I love you baby (baby, baby, baby)

And it get stronger, in every way, every way

And it gets deeper, deeper, deeper, baby let me say

And it gets higher, day by day

Oh, and do I love you, my oh my, my, my, my, my

(River deep, Lord, mountain high)

I wanna tell you that if I ever, ever lost you, baby would I cry

Oh, I do love you, baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like the water love the sink

And I love you, baby

Like flowers love the spring

I love you, baby
