- IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR
- Frank Sinatra
- (Ervin Drake)
-
- 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 perfumed 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 my years
- And 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
