Lyrics
Listen, baby
Ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low
Ain’t no river wide enough, babyIf you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far (don’t worry, baby)
Just call my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry
Cause baby thereAin’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babeRemember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me
Some way, some how
Cause baby thereAin’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babeOh no, darling
No wind, no rain
Nor winter’s cold
Can’t stop me babyNo no baby
Cause you are my goal
If you’re ever in trouble
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for meOh baby!
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apartIf you ever need a helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I canDon’t you know that there…
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babeDon’t you know that there…
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
