Published 1935
Words by Holt Marvell
Music by Jack Strachey and Harry Link
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 stumbling 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 makes 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...
