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.

Iโ€™m wait ing (F)here like I prom ised to.

Iโ€™m wait ing here, but where are you?

(C)Trains and boats and planes

took you a way,

but ev โ€™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 โ€™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.

Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view โ€” the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes โ€” slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes โ€” Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
