lou rawls – it was a very good year lyrics
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, it poured sweet and clear.
it was a very good year.
