Days of Wine and Roses (Oscar Winner 1962)

The days of wine and roses

Laugh and run away like a child at play

Through a meadow land toward a closing door

A door marked nevermore, that wasn't there beforeThe 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
