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
