That bring me happiness, or pain!
D Bm Em7 A7
A cigar - ette that bears a lipstick's traces,

An airline ticket to ro-------mantic places,

And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D Bm Em7 A7
A tinkling piano in the next a - partment,

Those stumbling words that told you... what my heart meant,

A fairgrounds painted swings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G Em G Gm9 Gm(b9) Gm7
You came, you saw, you conquered me,

When you did that to me, I, somehow, knew that this had to be!

A tele - phone that rings, but... who's to answer?

The park at evening when the bell has sounded,

The pier in France with all the... gulls a - round it,

The beauty that is Spring, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!

I know... that this... was bound to be,

The sigh of midnight trains in... empty stations,

Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D Bm Em7 A7
The smile of Garbo, and the scent of roses,

The waiters whistling as the last bar closes,
D D7 G G G/F# Em Em7 A7
The song that... Crosby sings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D Bm Em7 A7
First daffo - dils, and long ex-----cited cables,

And candle - light on little... corner tables,

The scent of smouldering leaves, the wail of steamers,

Two lovers, on the street, who... walk like dreamers,

Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you, just you!
D Bm Em7 A7 D Bm Em7 A7
Ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah! (repeat, end on D)
