Trying to Get You

I've been traveling over mountains

Even through the valley, 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

Well, 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

Lord, 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 been 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 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 nighí‚Â

He would shine His brightest light

When I was trying to get to you
