Deeper Than the Holler

Well I've heard those city singers

Singing '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 growing 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 every one is different, and every one's the same

And this is just another way of saying the same thing

My love is deeper than the holler

Stronger than the river

Higher than the pine trees growing 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 river

Higher than the pine trees growing 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

A whippoorwill
