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
