These Foolish Things

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 stumbling 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 somehow knew that this had to be

The winter 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
