Abbey Lincoln - These Foolish Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's faces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

[Verse 2]
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
Fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

[Bridge]
You came, you saw
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be

[Verse 3]
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
Thesе foolish things remind me of you

[Tenor Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
How strange, how sweet
To find you still
Thеse things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me

[Verse 4]
The smell 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
These things remind me of you
These things remind me of you

[Outro]
Thank you
