Abbey Lincoln
These Foolish Things
Oh! Will you never let me be?Oh! Will you never set me free?The ties that bound usAre still around usThere's no escape that I can seeAnd still those little things remainThat bring me happiness or painA cigarette that bears a lipstick's tracesAn airline ticket to romantic placesAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish things remind me of youA tinkling piano in the next apartmentThose stumbling words that told you what my heart meantA fair ground's painted swingsThese foolish things remind me of youYou came you saw you conquer'd meWhen you did that to meI knew somehow this had to beThe winds of March that make my heart a dancerA telephone that rings but who's to answer?Oh, how the ghost of you clings!SongtexteThese foolish things remind me of youFirst daffodils and long excited cablesAnd candle lights on little corner tablesAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish things remind me of youThe park at evening when the bell has soundedThe "Ile de France" with all the gulls around itThe beauty that is Spring'sThese foolish things remind me of youHow strange how sweet to find you stillThese things are dear to meThey seem to bring you near to meThe sigh of midnight trains in empty stationsSilk stockings thrown aside dance invitationsOh, how the ghost of you clings!These foolish things remind me of youGardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillowWild strawb'ries only seven francs a kiloAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish things remind me of youThe smile of Garbo and the scent of rosesThe waiters whistling as the last bar closesThe song that Crosby singsThese foolish things remind me of youHow strange how sweet to find you stillThese things are dear to meThey seem to bring you near to meThe scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamersTwo lovers on the street who walk like dreamersOh, how the ghost of you clings!These foolish things remind me of you
