I've been traveling over mountains,
even through the valleys, too.
                              G#
I've been traveling night and day,

                A#                          D#
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

Since I read your lovin' letter,

                             D#7
where you said you loved me, true.

                              G#
I've been traveling night and day,

                A#                          D#  
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me.

                                D#
Or that could keep me away from you.

                         F
Since your loving letter told me,

                          A#
that you really loved me, true.

A#                       D#
I just had to reach you, baby..

but after all that I've been through..

                               G#                   
I've been travellin' night and day,

                A#
runnin' all the way, baby, trying to 

       D#
get to you.
#4.
D#
Well, if I had to do it over..

                        D#7
that's exactly what I'd do.

                              G#
I'd keep travellin' night and day,

                A#
runnin' all the way, baby, trying to 

       D#
get to you.
CHORUS:

Well, since I read your lovin' letters..

                       D#
then my heart began to sing.

                        G#
There were many miles between us..

                F      A#
but they didn't mean a thing.
#5.
A#                    D#
Lord above me knows I love you.

D#                       D#7
It was He who brought me through.

                        G#
When my way was darkest night, 

                             A#
He would shine His brightest light,

                            D#  F A# D#
when I was trying to get to you.
