A cigarette that bears a lipsticks' traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
A fairgrounds' painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

Those fumbling words that told you what my heart meant
Still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw

I knew somehow it had to be

The winds of March that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Funny how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
