When I was seventeen it was a very good year
It was a very good year for country 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
When I was thirty-five it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girlsof independent means
We'd ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
And now the days are 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 it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
