The days of wine and roses
F#m Am D7
Laugh and run away, like a child at play
G#m C#m F#m
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
B G# F# F#m B7
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
E D7 C#
The lone...ly night discloses
F#m Am D7
Just a passing breeze, filled with memories
G#m C#m A#m7/5- D#7
Of the golden smile that introduce me to
G#m C#m F#m B7 E
The days of wine and roses and you.
