These Foolish Things / You Take What Comes Along
These Foolish Things - Words by Holt Marvell and Music by Harry Link & Jack Strachey
You Take What Comes Along - Words and Music by Syndey Robin
Appears on Live with The Trio 

Oh will you never let me be
Or will you never set me free
The chains that bind us,
are all around us There's nothing left that I can see
Those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
A fairgrounds 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

(You Take What Comes Along)
When your lover leaves you
With no arms to receive you
You take what comes along
Beggars can't be choosers
For when you join the losers
You take what comes along
Why sit and wait
For her return
You're taking all the blame
Not even, if she does come back
Never will be the same

Four walls and a ceiling
How well I know that feeling
When you've been told "you're through"
Lover after lover
Just hoping to discover
Someone who'll need you too
Since that lonely day
Just memories
Just regrets
And You take what comes along
And pray that someday
Maybe you'll forget
