Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Diana Ross & The Temptations Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen baby, ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough;
Baby if you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far;
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 valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.

Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how.

'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 babe.

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
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 babe.

No wind no rain or winters cold can 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.

If you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far;
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 valley low enough,




Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.

Awesome graphics / video!

@newanthonystyles8361

Carol kaye on bass! The brady bunch bass player..I think the bass on brady bunch song is funky .she did do some recording with Motown! Who knew?šŸ˜Ž

@darrylchambers7801

Yes she also does stellar job on theme from Mission Impossible

@AfferbeckBeats

A strange little version of this song. Higher tempo than others. The intro differs from versions like Marvin and Tammi's as it has a guitar doubling the bassline, giving a clicky attack that sounds vastly different from Jamerson's bass in the rest of the song.

@jocknarn3225

Guitars; the Oreo Brothers:Robert White, damn 4got the names

@carter84262

I think they would be Joe Messina & Eddie Willis

@darrylchambers7801

Uriel Jones & Pistol Allen on šŸ„ for all 3 versions of this song

@divinewilliams3055

not in the same league as marvin and tammi
