Well, I've been travelin over mountains, now even through the valleys too, well I've been travelin night and day runnin all the way baby tryin to get to you Well since I read your lovin letter where you said you love me true well I been travelin night and day runnin all the way baby tryin to get to you Well now theres nothin that could hold me or to keep me way from you ooooh since your lovin letter told me ah that you really love me true oooooh I just had to reach you baby back of all that I've been through I'll keep travelin night and day runnin all the way baby tryin to get to you Well if I had to do it over, well thats exactly what I'd do, I'd keep travelin night and day runnin all the way baby tryin to get to you Well since I read your lovin letter well my heart began to sing there are many miles between us ah but they didn't mean a thing Lord's above he knows I love you well it was he who brought me through, when my way was black as night he'd still shine bright as light when I was tryin to get to you
