“The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked “nevermore” that wasn’t there before
Through the 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 introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
The days of wine and roses
The lonely – the 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”
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you”
-Songwriters: Henry N. Mancini / Johnny Mercer
Thinking back on our yesterday ,drowning in the sweet sadness, of our time
…a painting for you , two very different forms, a ghostly figure in between
what we are to each other…
three bottles and a mirrored reflection
a table between the sun and the moon
reflections of each other
what we didn’t want to see is there
Can you ever forgive me?
sweet peace in ignorance
we laughed and smiled at each other
so close
two lost empty souls
so far away from knowing who we are
seeing through that glass darkly
sweet peace to you my friend
May it find you
we may walk away
never from ourselves
and in our reflection find that truth that eludes us
looking into that glass darkly now
but one day we shall know as we are known
