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.
