(H. Mancini, J. Mercer)

[Recorded January 28, 1964, Los Angeles]

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
(From: http://www.elyrics.net)
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
