(The) Days of Wine and Roses

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 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.

~ from the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses"
Music by Henry Mancini and lyrics by Johnny Mercer, 1962
