Lyrics These Foolish Things - Southside Johnny

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 fair ground’s painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came you saw you conquer’d me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make 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
How strange how sweet to find you still
All these things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
Your sweet perfume ling’ring on a pillow
Soft rain falling on a weeping willing
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you
These foolish things remind me, remind me of you
