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.
