<with a jauntier melody than andy williams’ version>
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn’t there before
The lone-ly 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
<brief instrumental break>
The days of wine and roses
<more instrumental-rest of the first verse>
The lonely—–the 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
