These Foolish Things

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces

An airline ticket to romantic places

Still my heart has wings

These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment

Those stumblin' words

That told you what my heart meant

A fair ground’s painted swings

These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me

When you did that to me

I knew somehow this really had to be

The winds of march that make my heart a dancer

A telephone that rings but who's to answer

Oh, how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things remind me of you

The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses

The waiters whistling as the last bar closes

The song that Crosby sings

These foolish things

Remind me of you

How strange

How sweet

To find you still

These things are dear to me; they seem to bring you so near to me

The scent of smould'ring leaves the wail of steamers

Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers

Oh how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things

Remind me of you
