Paroles de la chanson These Foolish Things: |
A cigarette that bares 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 sigh 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 |
