These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You) Songtext
von Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra

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 stumblin' 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 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

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 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
