    A chauffeur dressed in gray, holds a sign, in leather glooves


C                       G/C          Bb/C       F/C   G/B

Dm                     Gm7             F6                Bb9
    Father, mother and sister, trading smiles and playful shoves


          Am7                D7              Dm7/G         G7
And their son is coming back home, coming to stay, whoa oh oh, whoa  oh

   And she dreams of the summertime with him, upon arri    val

     Now announcing the touchdown of the flight, it's right on time


      Am7        D7                 Dm7/G           G7
And a wave of excitement sweeps the room, ooh, oh, oh,



        |Abmaj7-5/G        |            |
oh, oh,  oh


Fm7                             D7/F#       E7/G#                Am
    Each second of every minute     seems eternal, time standing still


Bb9                      E7                C6
     Hearts beating quicker, minds racing fast


Fm7                                   D7/F#
     Then suddenly shouts of laughter,


          E7/G#           Am7
 tears of joy, flashes of light


Bb9                   E7               C6    C7
     Handshake, introductions, lovers kiss

|Dm7/G        |G7          |         |           |



C                G/C              Bb/C          F/C     G/B
   Now, as the people go separate ways, I stand ama  azed


C                 G/C             Bb/C          F/C    G/B
   Everyone has a story you could tell, upon arri    val


Dm                       Gm7             F6             Bb9
    Still a girl in dark glasses waits until everyone's gone


        Am7              D7                 Dm7/G          G7
And she weeps, she's all alone, her love is lost, whoa oh, oh,

Ooh, oh, oh
