Della Reese - It Was A Very Good Year (ABC 10841)

with the Bobby Bryant Quintet ...1966

flip side: Solitary Woman


I Can recall although it was yesterday
Everything seems so clear
Memories are things time cannot wash away
These are my cherrish years

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for country boys
Soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
I had a ball when I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
That was a very good year
Was a very good year for big city men
I had enough up the stair
I'd spray joy in my hair
And let it fallen down
I was so sexy at twenty-one

I Can recall although it was yesterday
Everythings bright and clear
Memories are things time cannot wash away
These are my cherished years

When I was thirty-five
That was a gazer of a year
A very good year for great templed men
When independent means
They drive me in limousines
Custom chauffeurs would drive
Honey I was much wiser at that time

Now the days grow short
You Caught me in the autumn of my year
But I think of my life as vintage wine
From rare old keg
And from the brim to the dregs
I give it your and flag
I have some damned good year

I Can recall although it was yesterday
I see all bright and clear
Memories are things time cannot wash away
These are my cherrished years

Thank god for the good years
I had some very good years
Some very very very good years
