These Foolish Things

These Foolish Things - Billy Ocean

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 long excited cables

And candle lights on little corner table

And still my heart has wings

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 near to me

The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations

Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations

And I have a ghost of you clings

These foolish things remind me of you

These foolish things remind me of you

Oh I think get you what my mind

And I think about you all of time

These foolish things

These foolish things

These foolish things
