Sleepless Nights More Songs movie - These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You) lyrics

rate me

Song by Ferry, Bryan<br /><br>

Oh will you never let me be?<br>

Oh will you never set me free?<br>

The ties that bound us are still around us<br>

There's no escape that I can see<br>

And still those little things remain<br>

That bring me happiness or pain<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<br>

Remind me of you<br>

A tinkling piano in the next apartment<br>

Those stumbling words that told you<br>

What my heart meant<br>

A fairground's painted swings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

You came, you saw, you conquered me<br>

When you did that to me<br>

I somehow knew that this had to be<br>

The winds of march that make my heart a dancer<br>

A telephone that rings, but who's to answer?<br>

Oh, how the ghost of you clings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow<br>

Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo<br>

And still my heart has wings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

The park at evening when the bell has sounded<br>

The ?le-de-France with all the girls around it<br>

The beauty that is Spring<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

I know that this was bound to me<br>

These things have haunted me<br>

For you've entirely enchanted me<br>

The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations<br>

Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations<br>

Oh, how the ghost of you clings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

First daffodills and long excited cables<br>

And candle light on little corner tables<br>

And still my heart has wings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses<br>

The waiters whistling as the last bar closes<br>

The song that Crosby sings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you<br>

How strange, how sweet to find you still<br>

These things are dear to me<br>

That seem to bring you so near to me<br>

The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers<br>

Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers<br>

Oh, how the ghost of you clings<br>

These foolish things<br>

Remind me of you, just you<br>

<br>
