Ain't NO Mountain High Enough

Tori and Mama, headed HOME ~ August 4, 2002

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, darling

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

No wind, no rain or winter cold

Can stop me baby

'Cuz you are my goal

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

~Marvin Gaye

Dear Tori,

This song will always remind me of you. When you were a little baby and still living at Mommy's work, the movie "Remembering the Titans" had just come out. Somebody brought in the soundtrack, and since it had so many great songs we played it for you guys a lot. Sometimes when you were fussy, I would snuggle you up in your blanket and we would dance around the room with this song playing in the background. The words were actually quite appropriate for our situation at the time, as Daddy and I felt like we were climbing mountains to try and get you home! At any rate, I don't know if it was the music, the dancing or the snuggling, but you usually calmed right down......

You aren't a baby any more, but I think the words in this song apply just as much today as they did when we were waiting to bring you home! I hope maybe they can bring you the same comfort now that they did back then. So whenever you hear this song, imagine that I am holding you close and singing these words to you ~

just like I did so long ago......

Love,

Mama
