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 sat 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 wind) No rain, (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 lovin' 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 yours 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 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 Keep me from you Ain't no mountain high enough (no) Nothing can keep me 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 Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wild enough To keep me from you (Ain't no mountain high enough) Nothing in this world (Ain't no valley low enough) Nothing in this world Can keep me from you, baby Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry Just call my name I'll be there Ain't no mountain high enough Nothing can keep me, keep me from you Ain't no mountain high enough (Say it again) Ain't no river wild enough To keep me from you
