Scritta dall'inglese Erich Maschwitz (con lo pseudonimo di Holt Marvell) insieme a Jack Strachey e Harry Link per la rivista “Spread it abroad!”, che debuttò a Broadway nel 1936. In teatro fu cantata da Dorothy Dickson. Sinatra la registrò nel 1945 su 78 giri, ma l'aveva già cantata l'anno precedente durante il “Bing Crosby Show” radiofonico della NBC.
Questo brano fu interpretato da Mina nel 1960 in italiano a Gran Gala.
These Foolish Things
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 somehow knew 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
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I somehow knew 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
