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 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 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
First daffodils and then long excited cables And candle light on little corner tables And still my heart has wings These foolish things Remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded The ile-de-France with all the girls 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 That seem to bring you so near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you
