Lyrics
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. On that
you can depend and never worry.
(You see, my love is alive It’s like a
seed that only needs the thought of you to
grow. So if you feel the need for company,
please, my darling, let it be me. I may not
be able to express the depth of the love
I feel for you, but a writer put it very nicely
when he was away from the one he loved.
He said down and wrote these words:)
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter’s cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you’re my goal
No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You’ll always have me
And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain’t no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
