     Gm       E7        A7   Am7   A7 
The  days, of wine and  ro – ses, 
          Dm        Dm7        Fm7      
Laugh and run away,     like a child, at play, 
            Em7    Em      Am    Am7     Dm 
Through the meadow land toward a closing door, 
  D7   Dm7    D7    Dm   Bm7   E7      Am7            Dm7     G7 
A door marked nev - er - more,    that wasn't there before.

The lone - ly  night, dis - clo – ses,  
       Dm             Dm7            Fm7            
Just a passing breeze,    filled with memories,  
       Em7    Em         Am         Am7      F#m      
Of the golden smile that in - tro - duced me to, 
    Em      Em7      D7    Dm7  G7  C    Fm    C 
The days of wine and roses      and you.
