Days Of Wine And Roses

Days Of Wine And Roses
music by Henry Mancini (left)
lyric by Johnny Mercer (right)

The days of winre and roses laugh and run away like a child at play,
Through the meadowland 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.
