Does any SDoper know of an oldie which repeats “Love is a river running so deep…” I need the title and artist, please…

Thanks,

I think you’ve got yourself a mondegreen here.

I think it’s “soul deep” and it’s by the Gin Blossoms.

He are the lyrics:

> **[Soul Deep lyrics by Gin Blossoms from Speed soundtrack.](https://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/speed/souldeep.htm)**
>
> Soul Deep lyrics: Well darlin' I don't know much But I know I learned so much My life depends on your touch For my love is a river running soul deep Way down inside me it's soul deep Too big to hide and it can't be denie

Box Tops. **Reeder** got it in one! That was my first thought, too.

I didn’t know the Gin Blossoms thing was a cover. You learn a little something everyday.
