in the car or somethin'?

I'll die. I mean, I was already

there for, like, 800 hours today,

and I also think I ate

all of Dolly's cherries.

Yeah.

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

Don't worry, baby

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 gettin'

to you, babe

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

'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 gettin'

to you, babe

Oh, no, darlin'

No wind or rain

Or winters cold

Can't stop me, baby

No, baby

'Cause you are my love

If you're ever in trouble

I'll be there on the double

Just send for me Oh, baby

Oh, baby

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 there

ain't no mountain high enough

I raced the

sun home in the morning...

and the moon up at night.

Anything can happen.

Ain't no river wide enough

And anything does.

To keep me from gettin' to you, babe

There's just today,

and then there's tonight.

There ain't no mountain

high enough

And tonight...

Ain't no mountain low enough

is wonderful.

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from gettin'

to you, babe
