Days Of Wine And Roses

Helen Merrill · Other Songs - Helen Merrill

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 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 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
