Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
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 made 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.
