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.

    General Comment:i think, whether the author of these lyrics intended it or not, this song may resemble a dialogue between a human and God.

    "Remember the day
    I set you free
    I told you
    You could always count on me darlin'"

    "From that day on
    I made a vow
    I'll be there when you want me
    Someway somehow"

    sure, God might not call us "darlin'" but its a beautiful line none the less. We were set free by Jesus' sacrifice, and once we accept this sacrifice, we are set free. and from that day on, we make a vow to live for him.

    human love if fallible, things will separate human love, but nothing can keep us from the love of God.


    God:
    If you need me call me
    No matter where you are
    No matter how far
    Dont worry baby

    Just all my name
    I'll be there in a hurry
    You dont have to worry
    'Cause baby

    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 baby

    General Comment:This is my most favourite song - sung so well by Gaye and her duet partner Terrell - most of Moown songs are baout love,but the lyrics are much more inventional then most of the love songs today. So sweet, great rhymes - adn so simple that anybody understands.

    General Comment:you people have no idea of the implications of this song.

    they are voicing that nothing can keep them apart. mountains, valleys, rivers. miles. fuck it.

    "My love is alive
    Way down in my heart
    Although we are miles apart"

    Those notes are by far the best in the song..
