FRANK SINATRA-THE VOICE- WHEN I WAS SEVENTEEN IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR

"IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR"
FRANK SINATRA
Francis Albert Sinatra (* 12. Dezember 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey; † 14. Mai 1998 in Los Angeles

When 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 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
Wed ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
Im 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

It was a mess of good years

[Pathosgrim]

Sopranos Season 2 brought me here.

Respect.

this song just gets me in the heart

[BIGKELL9614]

@187mandem All I could afford was cheap beer. We'd give the older guys money for the quality stuff, they'd buy the cheap stuff and keep the difference......damn them.....damn them.

[iamdw817]

Yes. It was a very good year. But - not when I was 17. Lotsa bad things happened then.

[302zman]

When I was 17 I was arrested for driving without a license.

When I was 21 sweet pussy became part of my daily diet (including your daughter)

When I was 35 I married a crazy bitch.

When I was 36 I killed the bitch.
