Trying To Get You

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 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 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 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 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 he 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 you.
