Lyrics
I've been traveling over mountains
even through the valleys too
I've been traveling night and day
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
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
spite of all that I've been through
I kept traveling night and day
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
spite of all that I've been through
I kept traveling night and day
running all the way baby trying to get to you
I kept traveling night and day
running all the way baby trying to get to you
