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 "never more" 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. Instrumental interlude 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.
