Robbie Williams It Was A Very Good Year Lyrics

(Duet with Frank Sinatra)

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 stairs
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
