Johnny Mercer

Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew. Everything was ours; how happy we were then, but then once upon a time never comes again.

We're drinking my friend, To the end of a brief episode, Make it one for my baby, And one more for the road.

Days of wine and roses laugh and run away, like a child at play.

I always was kind of on the edge of the church when I was fully in it, cos I was always asking the questions... And I could never believe blindly.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I'm a working stiff, baby, just like everybody else.
