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

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 darling
From that day on
I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way somehow

Chorus

No wind, no rain
Or winter's cold
Can stop me baby
'Cause you are my goal
(If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me)
Ooo baby
Send for me ooo baby

My love is alive
Deep 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,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Aint no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

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 babe

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong,
Far from the world below
Up where the clear wind blows

Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb them a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blows

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
A live today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blows

I'm afraid of the dark,
'specially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,
ooh, I get the shivers

I don't want to see a ghost,
it's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast and
watch the evening news

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo, doot dooo

I'm a superstitious girl,
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders,
I keep a rabbit's tail

I'll take you up on a dare,
anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there,
bungee jumping, I don't care!

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo, doot doot dooo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo, doot dooo

So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun,
if you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams,
ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
in a beautiful balloon

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo, doot doot dooo
Life, oh life, oh life, (repeat till end)

Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound

Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
Makin' a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd
Walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don’t belong
Living in your precious memory

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd
Walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don’t want to let this go
I, I
Don't

Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound

Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
Makin a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd
Walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd
Walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you

If I could just hold you
Tonight

If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky and dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry
But you could make me whole again

And if you see me with another man
Laughing and I'm joking, doin’ what I can
I won't put you down
Cuz i want you around
You can make me whole again

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again

Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it since we've been apart
My friends make me smile
If only for a while
But you can make me whole again

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again

For now I'll have to wait
But baby if you change your mind
Don't be too late,
Cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
But you can make me whole again

Looking back on where we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again

Repeat Chorus

You can't manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful - that day
And love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical - these days
You analyse everyone you meet
But get no sign - the loving kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it - try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo - each day
And the past that cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful
You just couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it - try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

(It'll come your way)
(It'll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way) Some kind of beautiful
(It'll come your way)

All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul, no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone

If you can't wake up in the morning
'Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it - try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold and lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

Y' know, I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

(Solo)

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
(fade)

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

[Vanessa Carlton]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]
They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey
Paved paradise and put up a parking lot

[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam, Vanessa]
I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna giving it all away

Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot
