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 loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you
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 went through
I kept traveling night and day
Baby, trying to get to you
Baby, trying to get to you
If I had to do it all over,
that's exactly what I'd do
I would travel night and day,
and I'd still run all the way
Baby, tryin' to get to you
Baby, tryin' to get to you
There was nothin' that could hold me
Or could keep me away from you
When your lovin' letter told me
That you really loved me true
That you really loved me true
Lord above, you know I love you
It was He who brought me through
When my way was dark at night
He put the shadows right beside me
When I was trying to get to you
