These Foolish Things

These Foolish Things - Ella Fitzgerald

Oh will you never let me be

Oh will you never set me free

The ties that bound us

Are one around us

There's no escape that i can see

Those little things remain

That bring me happiness or pain

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
