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 that perfumed hair And that came undone When I was twenty one When 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 Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty five But now the days go short I'm in the autumn of the years And now I think of my life as vintage wine From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs And it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year It was a gind of good year
