Bilingual
When I was 17
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 17
When I was 20-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
ย
And it came undone
When I was 20-one
ย
When I was 30-five
ย
It was a very good year
ย
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
ย
We'd ride in limousines
ย
Their chauffeurs would drive
ย
When I was 30-five
ย
But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
ย
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
ย
It was a very good year
It was a mess of good years
ย
