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

 tinkling piano in the next apartment
 Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
 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
 telephone that rings but who's to answer?
 Oh, how the ghost of you clings
 These foolish things remind me of you

 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

 How strange, how sweet, to find you still
 These things are dear to me
 They seem to bring you so 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
 Remind me of you
 Remind me of you
