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 darkest night, 
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.
