for everyone

From the popular song: Days of Wine and Roses.  This is from a 1962 movie with the same name.   Music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johny Mercer. 

The phrase "days of wine and roses" is originally from the poem "Vitae Summa Brevis" by the English writer Ernest Dowson (1867-1900):

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
