Ella Fitzgerald

These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)
A cigarette that bares a lipstick`s tracesAn airline ticket to romantic placesAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish things remind me of you.A tinkling piano in the next apartmentThose stumblin`words That told you what my heart meantA fairground`s painted swingsThese foolish thingsremind me of you.You came,You saw,You conquered meWhen you did that to meI knew somehow this had to beThe winds of March That made my heart a dancerA telephone that rings But who`s to answerOh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youFirst daffodilsAnd long excited cablesAnd candle lightsA little corner tableAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish things remind me of youThe park at eveningSongtexteWhen the bell has soundedThe pier in FranceWith all the gulls around itThe beauty that is springThese foolish thingsRemind me of youHow strange,How sweet,To find you still,These things are dear to meThey seem to bring you near to meThe sigh of midnight trainsAt empty stationsSilk stockings thrown asideDance invitationsOh how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youGardenia perfumeLingering on a pillowWild strawberriesOnly seven francs a kiloAnd still my heart has wings,These foolish things,Remind me of youThe smile of GarboAnd the scent of rosesThe waiters whistlingAs the last bar closesThe song that Crosby singsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youHow strangeHow sweetTo find you stillThese things are dear to meThey seem to bring you near to meThe scent of smoldering leavesThe wail of steamersTwo lovers on the streetWho walk like dreamersOh how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of you.
