THESE FOOLISH THINGS 1936 |
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 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.
