These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)

These Foolish Things(Remind Me Of You) - Nat King Cole

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 made my heart a dancer

A telephone that rings

And 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 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 gulls around it

The beauty that is spring's

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 in empty stations

Silk stockings tossed aside dance invitations

Oh how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things remind me of you

These foolish things remind me of you
