Trains and Boats and Planes lyrics

Trains and boats and planes are passing by,

they mean a trip to Paris or Rome

for someone else, but not for me.

The trains and the boats and planes

took you away, away from me.

We were so in love and high above,

we had a star to wish upon wish.

And dreams come true, but not for me.

The trains and the boats and planes

took you away, away from me.

You are from another part of the world.

You had to go back awhile and then

you said you soon would return again.

I'm waiting here like I promised to.

I'm waiting here, but where are you?

Trains and boats and planes took you away,

but every time I see them, I pray

and if my prayer can cross the sea...

The trains and the boats and planes

took you away, away from me.

You are from another part of the world.

You had to go back awhile and then

you said you soon would return again.

I'm waiting here like I promised to.

I'm waiting here, but where are you?  

Trains and boats and planes are passing by,

they mean a trip to Paris or Rome

for someone else, but not for me.

The trains and the boats and planes

took you away, away from me.  

Trains and boats and planes took you away,

but every time I see them, I pray

and if my prayer can cross the sea,

the trains and the boats and planes

will bring you back, back home to me.

Trains and boats and planes are passing by...
