Lenny White
It Was a Very Good Year
When I was seventeenIt was a very good yearIt was a very good year for small town girlsAnd soft summer nightsWed hide from the lightsOn the village greenWhen I was seventeenWhen I was twenty-oneIt was a very good yearIt was a very good year for city girlsWho lived up the stairWith all that perfumed hairAnd it came undoneWhen I was twenty-oneWhen I was thirty-fiveIt was a very good yearIt was a very good year for blue-blooded girlsOf independent meansWed ride in limousinesTheir chauffeurs would driveWhen I was thirty-fiveBut now the days grow shortIm in the autumn of the yearSongtexteAnd now I think of my life as vintage wine>from fine old kegs>from the brim to the dregsAnd it poured sweet and clearIt was a very good yearIt was a mess of good years
