It Was a Very Good Year
When I was seventeen, it was a very good yearIt was a very good year for small town girlsAnd soft summer nightsWe'd hide from the lightsOn the village greenWhen I was seventeenWhen I was twenty-one, it was a very good yearIt was a very good year for city girlsWho lived up the stairsWith all that perfumed hairAnd it came undoneWhen I was twenty-oneWhen I was thirty-five, it was a very good yearIt was a very good year for blue-blooded girlsOf independent meansWe'd ride in limousinesTheir chauffeurs would driveWhen I was thirty-fiveBut now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of my yearsAnd I think of my life as vintage wineFrom fine old kegsFrom the brim to the dregsIt poured sweet and clearIt was a very good year
