When I was seventeen <br />
It was a very good year <br />
It was a very good year for small town girls <br />
And soft summer nights <br />
We`d hide from the lights <br />
On the village green <br />
When I was seventeen <br />
<br />
When I was twenty-one <br />
It was a very good year <br />
It was a very good year for city girls <br />
Who lived up the stair <br />
With all that perfumed hair <br />
And it came undone <br />
When I was twenty-one <br />
<br />
When I was thirty-five <br />
It was a very good year <br />
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls <br />
Of independent means <br />
We`d ride in limousines <br />
Their chauffeurs would drive <br />
When I was thirty-five <br />
<br />
But now the days grow short <br />
I`m in the autumn of the year <br />
And now I think of my life as vintage wine <br />
From fine old kegs <br />
From the brim to the dregs <br />
And it poured sweet and clear <br />
It was a very good year <br />
<br />
It was a mess of good years<br />
<br />
