Tony Bennett
These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)
[Verse 1]
A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still, my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
[Verse 2]
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words
That told you what my heart meant
A fair ground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
[Verse 3]
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this really 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
How strange, how sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
[Verse 5]
The scent of smoldering 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
