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 21
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
And it came undone
When I was 21
When I was 35
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 35
But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
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
