Days Of Wine and Roses
Artist: Andy Williams (peak Billboard position # 26 in 1963)
Music by Henry Mancini and Words by Johnny Mercer
title song from the movie starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick
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 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-oo-oo
