Sending this message out to you

With time and preciousness

Hopin', prayin', oh, it’s got to get through

Honey, I miss you and I don’t want to cry

That’s why this letter’s been sealed and certified

And when it gets there, it’ll all be explained

When it gets there, you know why I signed my name

By way of love’s express

Sending this message out to you

With time and preciousness

Hopin', prayin', oh, it’s got to get through

You may not hear my distant call

But it will arrive even if the sky should fall

And when it gets there, oh, you’ll know what I mean

When it gets there you’ll tell the train to put on a lil' more steam

Engine, don’t you break down

Engine, don’t you break down

Faster, make your whistle sound

Faster, make your whistle sound

Oh, train, with the speed of light you bear

Hurry, train, my baby’s got to know how much I care

Hurry, train, hurry, train, hurry, train, hurry

Hopin', prayin', oh, it’s got to get through

Oh, train, with the speed of light you bear

Hurry, train, my baby’s got to know how much I care

Hurry, train, hurry, train, hurry, train
