"These Foolish Things" lyrics
"These Foolish Things"
(feat. Dave Koz)
Two cigarettes bearing lipstick 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 scent of smoldering leaves
The wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street
Who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me, they seem to bring you so near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
Remind me of you
Remind me of you

Michael Bolton - "A Love So Beautiful" The summer sun went down on
Our love long ago
But in my heart I feel the same
Old afterglow

We let it slip away
We were too young to understand...
