Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trains and boats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
To someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
[Verse 2]
We were so in love and high above
We had a star to wish upon wish
When dreams come true, but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
[Verse 5]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
