Frank Sinatra - These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You) Lyrics

Frank Sinatra Lyrics

"These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)"
("The Voice Of Frank Sinatra" Version)

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 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

The smile of Turner and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you

Writer(s): Jack Strachey, Harry Link, Eric Maschwitz

Eric Maschwitz (under his nickname Holt Marvell) wrote these lyrics and Jack Strachey composed the music of this song. The song was inspired by a lost love of Maschwitz because he went back to England while his love interest, actress Anna May Wong, stayed in Hollywood where they had met during his work there.

Leslie Hutchinson made this song famous after he discovered it on a piano at BBC and recorded it in 1936.

In his 1945 version of the song, Frank Sinatra sings the line "The smile of Turner" instead of "The smile of Garbo".
