these foolish things

Singer: billie holiday

a cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces

an airline ticket to romantic places

still my heart has wings

these foolish things remind me of you

a tinkling piano in the next apartment

those stumblin' words

that told you what my heart meant

a fair ground 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 but who's to answer

oh

how the ghost of you clings

these foolish things remind me of you
