#1.
A#                       D#
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.

#2.
D#
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.

CHORUS:
D#7                              G#
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.

#3.
A#                       D#
I just had to reach you, baby..
D#
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:
D#                             G#
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.
