Days Of Wine And Roses

the days of wine and roses
laugh and run away
like a child at play
through a meadowland
toward a closing door
a door marked never more
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
