Lyrics
I’ve been traveling over miles
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 Id do
I would travel night and day
And Id 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
