These foolish things lyrics

Oh! Will you never let me be?

Oh! Will you never set me free?

The ties that bound us

Are still around us

There's no escape that I can see

And still those little things remain

That bring me happiness or pain.

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's 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 stumblin'words that told you what my heart meant

A fairground'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 had to be.

The winds of March that made 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.

First daffodils and long excited cables

And candle lights,a little corner table

And still my heart has wings

These foolish things remind me of you.

The park at evening when the bell has sounded

The pier in France with all the gulls around it

The beauty that is spring

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 sight of midnight trains at empty stations

Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations

Oh how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things remind me of you.

Gardenia perfume, lingering on a pillow

Wild strawberries only seven francs a kilo

And still my heart has wings

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 near to me.

The scent of smoldering 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
