Robbie Williams - It Was A Very Good Year Lyrics
Written by ervin drakeWhen I was seventeen, it was a very good year.It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights.Wed 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 cityGirls who lived up the stairsWith perfume hair that came undoneWhen I was twenty-one.When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year.It was a very good year for blue-bloodedGirls of independent means.Wed ride in limousines. their chauffeursWould drive when I was thirty-five.But now the days are short, Im in theAutumn of the yearAnd now I think of my life as vintageWine from fine old kegsFrom the brim to the dregs. it pouredSweet and clear. it was a very good year.
