Days Of Wine And Roses

Duke Ellington · The Reprise Studio Recordings [1999]

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play

Through a 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



(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
