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, 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 night
He would shine His brightest light
When I was 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

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 trying to get to you
