No matter where you are
No matter how far baby
Just call my name
I′ll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
Cause baby there
Ain′t no mountain high enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
To keep me from getting to you
Remember 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
Someway, somehow
Cause baby 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
Cause baby 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
To keep me from getting to you
No wind, no rain
Nor winter storm
Can′t stop me baby
Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me
Oh baby!
My love is alive
Way down in this heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I′ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don′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
To keep me from getting to you
Don′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
To keep me from getting to you
