These Foolish Things Lyrics

(Holt Marvell, Jack Strachey, Harry Link) 

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces 

An airline ticket to romantic places 

And still my heart has wings 

These foolish things remind me of you 

A tinkling piano in the next apartment 

Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant 

A fairground painted swing 

These foolish things remind me of you 

You came, you saw, you conquered me 

When you did that to me, I knew somehow this had to be 

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer 

A telephone that rings, but who's to answer 

How the ghost of you clings 

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 near to me 

The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations, 

Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations 

Oh, how the ghost of you clings 

These foolish things remind me of you
