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 faded 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 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.
(Instrumental Break - 1 Verse)
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 in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance in-vi-ta-tions
Oh, how the ghost of you clings --
These foolish things remind me of you.
