These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You) - Etta James

Paroles de la chanson These Foolish Things:

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

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

First daffodils

And long excited cables

And candle lights

A little corner table

And still my heart has wings

These foolish things remind me of you

The park at evening

When the bell has sounded

The pier in france

With all the gulls around it

The beauty that is spring

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 sigh of midnight trains

At empty stations

Silk stockings thrown aside

Dance invitations

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

And still my heart has wings

These foolish things

Remind me of you

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

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 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
