It Was A Very Good Year Testo

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
And 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
