Lyrics

(C)Trains and boats and planes

are pass ing by.

They mean a trip to Par is or Rome

to some one else,

but not for me.

The trains and the (Am)boats and planes

took you a way,

a way from me.

(C)We were so in love,

and high a bove

we had a star to wish up on.

Wishes

and dreams come true,

but not for me.

The trains and the (Am)boats and planes

took you a way,

a way from me.

(Am7)You are from an (D)oth er part of the (Am7)world.

You (D)had to go back a (Am7)while and then

you said you (Am7)soon would re turn a gain.

I’m wait ing (F)here like I prom ised to.

I’m wait ing here, but where are you?

(C)Trains and boats and planes

took you a way,

but ev ’ry time I see them I pray,

and if my prayers

can cross the sea,

the trains and the (Am)boats and planes

will bring you back,

back home to me.

(C)Trains and boats and planes

took you a way,

but ev ’ry time I see them I pray,

and if my prayers

can cross the sea,

the trains and the (Am)boats and planes

will bring you back,

back home to me.
