Frank Sinatra – It Was A Very Good Year Lyrics  Share

From Frank Sinatra's album: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings - Disk9

(E. Drake)

[Recorded April 22, 1965, Hollywood]

[spoken intro:]
Here^,s an awfully pretty folk song

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

[brief instrumental]

When I was twenty-one it was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair and it came undone
When I was twenty-one

[brief instrumental]

Then 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

[brief instrumental]

But now the days grow 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, and it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

[brief instrumental]

It was a mess of good years
