Trying to Get to You

I've been travelin' over mountains

Even through the valleys too

I've been travelin' night and day

I've been runnin' all the way

Baby, tryin' to get to you

Ever since I read your letter

Where you said you loved me true

I've been travelin' night and day

I've been runnin' all the way

Baby, tryin' to get to you

When I read your lovin' 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 travelin' night and day

I kept runnin' all the way

Baby, tryin' 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, tryin' to get to you

Well, there's nothin' that could hold me

Or could keep me away from you

When your lovin' 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 tryin' to get to you
