Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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.

Gonna Take Some Time"
(with Mahalia Barnes)
I can’t make you trust in me
The way that I want you to
I can’t change the way that I've been
Even if I wanted to
And the life that I was given
It’s taken me down many roads
And I've seen some things that you’ve never seen
And you’ll never know
There may be thing that you will never understand
And I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know that I'll be standing by
And I know you want to run away
Is it’s easier that way
I said I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know I put it on the line
And I'm never gonna run away
Even if it’s easier that way
If I can make you trust in me
The way that I need you to
Then I could give you everything
Given up the way you should do
‘Cause there’s things about you too
That I've never dealt with before
But those things are you
And I'd never ask you to change a thing
You know I love you baby just the way you are
And I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know that I'll be standing by
And I know you want to run away
Is it’s easier that way
I said I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know I put it on the line
And I'm never gonna run away
Even if it’s easier that way
If only you could see that I've opened my heart
For the first time baby
If only you could understand
I tried to make you see that it’s only you
And it’s work for me baby
I know that you can understand
