These Foolish Things Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

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′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
