Trying to get to you Pop

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.
