It Was A Very Good Year - Rod Stewart

作词：Ervin Drake

作曲：Ervin Drake

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

Then I was thirty-five

It was a very good year

It was a very good year

For blue-blooded girls of independent means

Who'd ride in limousines

And their chauffeurs would drive

When I was thirty-five

When I was fifty-three

It was a wonderful year

It was a wonderful year

To find the girl I'd call my own

A place where I belong

And she'd love only me

When I was fifty-three

But now the days grow short

I'm in the autumn of my years

And now I think of my life

As vintage wine from fine old kegs

From the brim to the dregs

And it poured sweet and clear

It was a very good year
