Lyrics
0:06Oh will you never let me be
0:11Oh will you never set me free
0:17The ties that bound us
0:19Are still around us
0:22There's no escape that i can see
0:28And still those little things remain
0:34That bring me happiness or pain
0:43A cigarette that bears
0:47A lipstick's traces
0:52An airline ticket to romantic places
1:01And still my heart has wings
1:07These foolish things
1:10Remind me of you
1:18A tinkling piano in the next apartment
1:26Those stumbling words that
1:29Told you what my heart meant
1:35A fairground's painted swings
1:41These foolish things
1:44Remind me of you
1:52You came you saw
2:00You conquered me
2:08When you did that to me
2:16I knew somehow this had to be
2:25The winds of march that
2:27Make my heart a dancer
2:33A telephone that rings
2:37But who's to answer
2:42Oh how the ghost of you clings
2:47These foolish things
2:51Remind me of you
2:58First daffodils and
3:01Long excited cables
3:06And candle lights
3:08On little corner tables
3:15And still my heart has wings
3:20These foolish things
3:23Remind me of you
3:30The park at evening
3:33When the bell has sounded
3:39The Ile de France with
3:41All the gulls around it
3:47The beauty that is Spring's
3:53These foolish things
3:56Remind me of you
4:03How strange how sweet
4:11To find you still
4:19These things are dear to me
4:26They seem to bring you near to me
4:36The sigh of midnight
4:38Trains in empty stations
4:43Silk stockings thrown
4:45Aside dance invitations
4:52Oh how the ghost of you clings
4:57These foolish things
5:01Remind me of you
5:09Gardenia perfume ling'
5:11Ring on a pillow
5:16Wild strawb'ries
5:19Only seven francs a kilo
5:24And still my heart has wings
5:30These foolish things
5:33Remind me of you
5:41The smile of Garbo
5:44And the scent of roses
5:49The waiters whistling
5:51As the last bar closes
5:57The song that Crosby sings
6:03These foolish things
6:06Remind me of you
6:12How strange how sweet
6:21To find you still
6:29These things are dear to me
6:36They seem to bring you near to me
6:45The scent of smould'ring leaves
6:49The wail of steamers
6:53Two lovers on the street
6:56Who walk like dreamers
7:01Oh how the ghost of you clings
7:07These foolish things
7:11Remind me of you
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 knew somehow 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 First daffodils and Long excited cables And candle lights 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 thrown Aside dance invitations Oh how the ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you Gardenia perfume ling' Ring on a pillow Wild strawb'ries Only seven francs a kilo And still my heart has wings 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 They seem to bring you near to me The scent of smould'ring 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
