The days of wine and roses

Marvin Gaye


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 lone...ly night discloses 
Just a passing breeze, filled with memories 
Of the golden smile that introduce me to 
The days of wine and roses and you.
