Diana Ross had the most beautiful voice and performed many songs that just made you want to get up and MOVE. I never used to memorize the words of a song until I noticed my daughter singing every single word of every single song. What is it with kids and songs? Were we that way?
Recently, we heard this song in the car and we decided that the words alone were enough for a blog post. The kids think I am always there helping people — anyone. I’m not sure that’s true but I’ll give it to them and post the words here anyway:
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.
No wind, no rain (No wind, no rain). Nor winter’s cold. Can stop me, babe, baby (Oh, babe, baby). If you’re my goal. Oh, no wind, no rain (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. Ain’t no river wild enough – To keep me from you.
Love, life and helping others. That’s what the collective heart of this world is all about. I really hope my kids get that (kids, pay attention to this message!). It’s a chain reaction. It’s the pay if forward theory. It feels great!
Have a fantastic Monday — and be there for someone this week!
