Текст песни Frank Sinatra - It Was a Very Good Year 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.
