It Was A Very Good Year lyrics

Artist  : Robbie Williams 
Song : It Was A Very Good Year
 


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
