These Foolish Things
(专辑: These Foolish Things - 1973)
Oh will you never let me be? Oh will you never set me free? The
ties that bound us, are still around us There's no escape that I
can see And still 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
somehow knew that 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 Gardenia perfume lingring on a
pillow Wild strawberries only seven francs a
kilo And still my heart has wings These foolish things Remind me of you I
know that this was bound to be These things have haunted me For you've entirely enchanted me The
sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations Oh, how the
ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you The
smile of Garbo and the
scent of roses The
waiters whistling as the
last bar closes The
song that Crosby sings These foolish things Remind me of you How strange, how sweet, to find you still These things are dear to me That seem to bring you so near to me The
scent of smouldering leaves, the
wail of steamers Two lovers on the
street who walk like dreamers Oh, how the
ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you, just you.
