ray conniff orchestra and chorus - it was a very good year lyrics

[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
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 stair
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 independent means
we’d ride in limousines
their chauffeurs would drive
when i was thirty+five
[verse 4]
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
