Trying to Get to You

I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you love me true
I've been travelling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us
But they didn't mean a thing

I just had to reach you, baby
In spite of all that I've been through
I kept traveling night and day
I kept running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

There was nothing that could hold me
Or could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really love me true

Lord above me knows I love you
It was he who brought me through
When my way was dark as night
He would shine his brightest light
Baby, trying to get to you

If I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do
I would travel night and day
I would still run all the way
When I was trying to get to you
