: I have been trying to follow up a quote that goes something like "we are not long in the days of wine and roses". : Having located your files that give the lyrics to johnny mercers song, that obviously is not it, but I wonder if you can help in any way. Thank you. : PS really loved the soundtrack (and the movie) of Midnight in the Garden.

 

FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH USE ONLY:

 

The song DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES was written for the film by the same name. Starring Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Jack Klugman, Charles Bickford. a Blake Edwards film released by Warner Bros.

Music by Henry Mancini, Lyric by Johnny Mercer (John Herndon Mercer)

1962. The lyric is quite short, yet it is certainly one of Johnny's most famous. Goes to prove that a complicated wordy piece is not necessary to be successful.

The Days of Wine and Roses Laugh and run away Like a child at play, Through the 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.

 


Did Johnny Mercer write the song, Days of Wine & Roses? If so, can you provide the words. Do you know if the song originated from a poem? If so, what was the poem and its words?
: Thanks for your help!

The Days
of Wine and Roses
Laugh and run away
Like a child at play,
Through the meadowland toward a closing door,
A door maraked "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.
