"These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)" lyrics
"These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)"
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 made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings
And who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you
The first daffodil and long excited cables
And candle lights on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The 'ile-de-France' with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is spring's...
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 near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you...
These foolish things remind me of you

I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know...
Eartha Kitt - "I'd Rather Be Burned As A Witch" They say that I’m a witch
And that I weave a spell.
Well…
I use my eyes to invite you,
My lips to delight you
And all the charms of the feminine wiles to excite you
They say that I’m a witch,

Irma Thomas - "I Need Your Love So Bad" Need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
And when the night begins and until it ends
Oh baby, I need your love so bad
I need someone's lips...
Louis Armstrong - "Mack The Knife" Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight
When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start...
Doris Day - "Secret Love" Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you...
