A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,

An airline ticket to romantic places,
7  -7  7  9  9  9_
And still my heart has wings...

(Short Music Intro)

5  -5  6  -5  5  -3  5  6  6  6  -5_
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
5  -5  6  -5  5  -3  5  -7  -7  -7  7_
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
7  -7  7  9   9  9_
A fairground's painted swings...
6  -6  7  -7_  -3  -4  5  -5  5__
These foolish things remind me of you.

7  6_  -7  -6*_
You came, you saw,
7  -7  -8  -8__
You conquered me.
-8  -7  7  -7  -8  -7_
When you did that to me,
-5  7  7  7  -6*  -6  7  -6__
I knew somehow this had to be.

5  -5  6  -5  5  -3  5  6  6  6  -5_
The winds of March that made my heart a dancer,
5  -5  6  -5  5  -3
A telephone that rings,
5  -7  -7  -7  7_
And who's to answer?
7  -7  7  9 9 9 9_
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
6  -6  7  -7_  -3  -4  5  -5  5_
These foolish things remind me of you.

5*  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*  5*  -6  -6  -6  -5*_
The first daffodil and long excited cables,
5*  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*  5*  -7*  -7*  -7*  7*_
And candle lights on little corner tables,
7*  -7*  7*  9*  9*  9*_
And still my heart has wings...
-6  -6*  7*  -7*_  -3*  -3*  5*  -6  -5*__
These foolish things remind me of you.

5*  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*  5*  -6  -6  -6  -5*_
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
5*  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*  5*  -7*  -7*  -7*  7*_
The 'Ile-de-France' with all the gulls around it,
7*  -7*  7*  9*  9*  9*_
The beauty that is spring's...
-6  -6*  7*  -7*_  -3*  5  5*  -5*  5*__
These foolish things remind me of you.

7*  -6_  -7*  7_
How strange, how sweet
7*  -7*  9  9__
To find you still,
9  -7*  7*  -7*  9  -7*_
These things are dear to me,
-5*  7*  7*  7*_  7  -6*  7*  -6*__
They seem to bring you near to me.

5*  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*  5*  -6  -6  -6  -5*_
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
5*  -5*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*
Silk stockings tossed aside,
5*  -7*  -7*  -7*  7*_
Dance invitations.
7*  -7*  7*  9* 9* 9* 9*_
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
-6  -6*  7*  -7*_  -3*  5  5*  -5*  7*_
These foolish things remind me of you...
-6  -6*  7*  -7*_  -3*  5  5*  -5*  5*_
These foolish things remind me of you.
