When I was sev-en-teen
When I was sev-en-teen
It was a ver-y good year
It was a ver-y good year
for small town girls
And soft sum-mer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the vil-lage green
When I was sev-en-teen
When I was twen-ty-one
It was a ver-y good year
It was a ver-y good year
for cit-y girls
Who lived up the stair
With per-fumed hair
And it came un-done
When I was twen-ty-one
When I was thir-ty-five
It was a ver-y good year
It was a ver-y good year
for blue-blood-ed girls
Of in-de-pen-dent means
We'd ride in lim-ou-sines
Their chauf-feurs would drive
When I was thir-ty-five
But now the days grow short
I'm in the aut-umn of the year
And now I think of my life
as vin-tage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a ver-y good year
