Lyrics

[00:01.630] A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
[00:07.360] An airline ticket to romantic places
[00:13.670] Still my heart has wings
[00:19.620] These foolish things remind me of you.
[00:29.500] A tinkling piano in the next apartment
[00:35.210] Those stumblin'words
[00:37.800] That told you what my heart meant
[00:41.280] A fair ground painted swings
[00:46.330] These foolish things remind me of you.
[00:54.130] You came, you saw, you conquered me
[01:07.140] When you did that to me
[01:11.860] I knew somehow this had to be
[01:19.800] Win the marks
[01:21.340] And make my heart a dancer
[01:25.510] A telephone that rings
[01:28.310] But who's to answer
[01:32.130] Oh, how the ghost of you clings
[01:36.480] These foolish things remind me of you
[01:44.550] The first daffodil and long excited cables,
[01:50.410] And candle lights on little corner tables,
[01:56.510] And still my heart has wings...
[02:01.120] These foolish things remind me of you.
[02:09.740] The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
[02:16.230] The 'ile-de-france' with all the gulls around it,
[02:22.200] The beauty that is spring's...
[02:26.360] These foolish things remind me of you.
[02:34.140] How strange, how sweetTo find you still,
[02:46.950] These things are dear to me,
[02:51.970] They seem to bring you near to me.
[02:58.990] The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
[03:05.190] Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
[03:11.850] Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
[03:16.580] These foolish things remind me of you...
[03:22.750] These foolish things remind me of you.
