                          E
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys too
                               A
I've been traveling night and day
                 B7
Running all the way
                  E
Trying to get to you

Ever since I read your letter
When you said you loved me too
I've been traveling night and day
Running all the way
Trying to get to you

E7                       A7
When I read your loving letter
                        E7
Then my heart began to sing
                          A7
There were many miles between us
                         B7
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
Running all the way
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
Still run all the way
Trying to get to you

E7                               A7
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
                              E
Or could keep me away from you
E7                       A7
When your loving letter told me
                          B7
That you really loved me true

Lord above you 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
