These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)

(Strachey/Marvell/ Link)

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.

The first daffodil and long excited cables,
