Elvis Presley - Tryin' To Get To You (Elvis In Concert)
(words & music by C. Singleton - R.M. McCoy)
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 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 I'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And I'd 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 dark as night,
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.

Hey dixielandrock person! I like your comments on this Elvis song. Trying to get to you is one of my fav's. I particularly love the version from the 68 come back - truely amazing and blows all my other heros of the day away - Beatles, Who etc
By the way I liked your clip of Bono arriving at a wedding! Bono is a gift from the next world.

One question:
The songs were recorded but not published, put them on the radio?
Or were saved for the future.

It's a new Elvis tune for me too. And I Love it. . . I wish it had gotten more air time back in the day. But right now I'm glad to know it exists. Cuz, I've been dancing around my office all morning. Yep, I gotta work off those holiday cookies.

Even if Elvis' name had been John he would have still been famous. Elvis has talented that no one can compare. Elvis has a beautiful voice that is easy to listen to. Plus Elvis sings his song with so much emotion. Plus Elvis is a wonderful man. I love Elvis and everything about Elvis.
