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.
