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

But 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 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 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 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

A whippoorwill
