The days of wine and roses

"Days of wine and roses"

The days of wine and roses
Laugh and run away
Like a child at play
Through a meadow land
Toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore"
That wasn't there before.

The lonely night discloses
Just a passing breeze
Filled with memories
Of the golden smile
That introduced me to
The days of wine and roses
And you.

Henry Mancini (m) - Johnny Mercer (w)
