Deeper Than the Holler

作词 : Don Schlitz/Paul Overstreet

作曲 : Don Schlitz/Paul Overstreet

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 a 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 backroads 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

An' this is just another way of sayin' 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
