Oh will you never

let me he?
Oh will you never

set me free?
The ties that hound us

are still around us
There's no escape

that I can see
And still those

little things remain
That bring me

happiness or pain
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 stumbling words

that told you
what my heart meant
These foolish things

remind me of you
You came

You saw
You conquered me
When you did that to me

I somehow knew that
this 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
Gardenia perfume
lingering on a pillow
wild strawberries only
seven francs a kilo
These foolish things

remind me of you
I know

that this
was bound to he
These things have
haunted me

for you've entirely
enchanted me
The sigh of

midnight trains in
empty stations
Silk stockings

thrown aside
danceianaHons
These foolish things

remind me of you
The smile of Garbo
and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling
as the last bar closes
These foolish things

remind me of you
How strange

How sweet
to find you still
These things are
dear to me

that seem to bring you
so near to me
The scent of

smouldering leaves
the wail of steamers
Two lovers

on the street who
walk like dreamers
These foolish things

remind me of you
iust you
