paroles de chanson It Was a Very Good Year - Ray Conniff

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 stair
With all that perfumed Hair
And it 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
And it poured sweet and clear
It Was a Very Good Year.
