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 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 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
    The scent of smouldering 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
    How strange, how sweet, to find you still
  These things are dear to me
  They seem to bring you so 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
  Remind me of you
  Remind me of you
