Ain′t no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain′t no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
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
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me darlin'
And from that day on I made a vow
I′ll be there when you want me
Some way, soooooome 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
No wind (no wind), no rain (no rain)
{Ohhhh.ooh ooh ooh}
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
Just as fast as I can
Don′t you know that
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain′t no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Ain′t no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain′t no river wide enough
To keep me from 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 gettin' to you babe.
