I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys too
I've been traveling night and day
Running all the way, 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
Running all the way, 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
Running all the way, 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
Still run all the way, 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
