Trying to Get to You
Elvis Presley Lyrics

I've been traveling over miles
I have been covering great distances on my journey.

Even through the valleys, too
I've traveled through difficult and low moments during my journey.

I've been traveling night and day
I haven't stopped for rest and have been traveling constantly, whether it's day or night.

I've been running all the way
I have been making an extensive effort, willing to do anything to reach my goal.

Baby, trying to get to you
I'm putting in all this effort specifically to reach you, my beloved.

Ever since I read your letter
My journey began after reading a special, loving letter from you.

Where you said you loved me true
In your letter, you expressed your true love for me.

When I read your loving letter
After reading your affectionate letter, I felt great emotion inside.

Then my heart began to sing
My heart felt overjoyed and filled with love.

There were many miles between us
We were separated by a great distance.

But they didn't mean a thing
The distance was irrelevant because of the depth of our love for each other.

I just had to reach you, baby
I felt an urgent need to be together with you, my dear.

In spite of all that I've been through
Despite all the challenges and hardships I've faced in my journey.

Well if I had to do it over
If I had to go through this journey again,

that's exactly what ID do
I would choose to go through it again with no hesitation.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me
There is absolutely nothing that could stop me.

Or that could keep me away from you
No obstacle could prevent me from reaching you.

Lord above me knows I love you
God knows how deeply I love you.

It was He who brought me through
God helped me to overcome all the difficulties that I faced.

When my way was darkest night
During the toughest moments of my journey.

He would shine His brightest light
God would give me hope and show me the way forward.

When I was trying to get to you
When my goal was to finally reach you.
