It Was A Very Good Year (Bonus Track) 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 Who'd ride in limousines And their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five When I was fifty-three It was a wonderful year It was a wonderful year To find the girl I'd call my own A place where I belong And she'd love only me When I was fifty-three But now the days grow short I'm in the autumn of my 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
