These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You) Songtext
von Carmen McRae

First daffodils, and long excited cables
And candle lights, on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things, remind me of you
A park at evening, when the bell has sounded
The Île-de-France with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is Spring′s
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
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling 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, hey, I knew somehow it had to be
The sigh of midnight trains, in empty stations
My stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things, remind me, of you
