GENE SEDRIC lyrics : "These Foolish Things"

Oh! Will you never let me be?
Oh! Will you never set me free?
The ties that bound 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
A fair ground's painted swings

These foolish things remind me of you
You came you saw you conquer'd 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


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
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The "Ile 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
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations

Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you


Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawb'ries 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 smould'ring 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
