Trains and boats and planes are passing by.
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For some - one else, but not for me.
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you a - way, a - way 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 a - way, a - way from me.
You are from another part of the world,
You had to go back a while 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 a-way,
But ev' ry 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.
(Instrumental Coda - 3 Lines of Verse)
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back, back home to me.
