"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (1967) (Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson) Performed by Marvin Gay and Tammy Terrell (madly in love, I would say!) * Lyrics and video
Listen, baby
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
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
Chorus: '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, somehow
(Chorus)
No wind, no rain
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
(Chorus)
