When I was seventeen
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 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

Then I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year
For blue-blooded girls of independent means
Who'd ride in limousines
And their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

When I was fifty-three
It was a wonderful year
It was a wonderful year
To find the girl I'd call my own
A place where I belong
And she'd love only me
When I was fifty-three

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of my years
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
