| 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
|
| 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
|
| Well if I had to do it over
|
| That’s exactly what I’d do
|
| I would travel night and day
|
| And I’d still run all the way
|
| Baby, trying to get to you
|
| Well, there’s nothing that could hold me
|
| Or that could keep me away from you
|
| When your loving letter told me
|
| That you really loved 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
|
| When I was trying to get to you |
