[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
