It Was a Very Good Year

It Was a Very Good Year - The Hit Crew

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 light 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 perfume hair that 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

Girls of independent means

We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs

Would drive when I was thirty-five

But 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
