NAT KING COLE - These Foolish Things lyrics

rate me

(strachey/marvell/ link)<br><br>A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,<br>An airline ticket to romantic places,<br>And still my heart has wings...<br>These foolish things remind me of you.<br><br>A tinkling piano in the next apartment,<br>Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,<br>A fairground's painted swings...<br>These foolish things remind me of you.<br><br>You came, you saw,<br>You conquered me.<br>When you did that to me,<br>I knew somehow this had to be.<br><br>The winds of march that made my heart a dancer,<br>A telephone that rings,<br>And who's to answer? <br>Oh, how the ghost of you clings...<br>These foolish things remind me of you.<br><br>The first daffodil and long excited cables,<br>And candle lights on little corner tables,<br>And still my heart has wings...<br>These foolish things remind me of you.<br><br>The park at evening when the bell has sounded,<br>The 'ile-de-france' with all the gulls around it,<br>The beauty that is spring's...<br>These foolish things remind me of you.<br><br>How strange, how sweet<br>To find you still,<br>These things are dear to me,<br>They seem to bring you near to me.<br><br>The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,<br>Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.<br>Oh, how the ghost of you clings!<br>These foolish things remind me of you...<br><br>These foolish things remind me of you.
