A Very Good Year (Unplugged & Live Version)
[Verse 1]
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year
For small-town girls
And soft, summer nights
[Chorus]
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
[Verse 3]
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year
For blue-blooded girls
Of independеnt means
[Chorus]
We'd ride in limousinеs
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
[Verse 4]
And 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
[Chorus]
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
