Lyrics

[00:20.41] When I was seventeen
[00:25.32] It was a very good year
[00:30.05] It was a very good year for small town girls
[00:34.79] And soft summer nights
[00:38.06] We'd hide from the lights
[00:41.77] On the village green
[00:45.74] When I was seventeen
[00:47.95]
[01:09.16] When I was twenty-one
[01:15.63] It was a very good year
[01:22.88] It was a very good year for city girls
[01:29.19] Who lived up the stair
[01:36.48] 0With all that perfumed hair
[01:44.61] And it came undone
[01:50.53] When I was twenty-one
[01:55.29]
[02:20.36] When I was thirty-five
[02:27.20] It was a very good year
[02:35.06] It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
[02:41.06] Of independent means
[02:50.50] We'd ride in limousines
[02:58.17] Their chauffeurs would drive
[03:06.14] When I was thirty-five
[03:09.04]
[03:31.34] But now the days grow short
[03:38.40] I'm in the autumn of the year
[03:46.62] And now I think of my life as vintage wine
[03:52.32] From fine old kegs
[03:58.33] From the brim to the dregs
[04:04.28] And it poured sweet and clear
[04:15.38] It was a very good year
