"It Was a Very Good Year"
By Frank Sinatra

http://www.TomandRodna.com/Songs/It_Was_a_Very_Good_Year.mp3

" 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 grow 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
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year"

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on
them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is
New Year's Day.”
