Seal
It Was A Very Good Year
When I was seventeen It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls Who lived up the stairs
With all that perfumed hair And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
Then I was thirty-five It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines That their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of my years
SongtexteAnd now I think of my life As vintage wine from fine old kegs
But from the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
