It Was a Very Good Year -- Frank Sinatra September of My Years -- Frank Sinatra 1965 -- Reprise Records (FS-1014) Recorded on an Audio-Technica AT PL120 Turntable 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 [brief instrumental] 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 [brief instrumental] Then 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 [brief instrumental] 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 Any song suggestions, just post a comment.

Jul 30, 2008 - One of the finest songs ever recorded by Sinatra (or anyone else). It's like an American novel set to music, and it comes in at just under five minutes. I believe the song is orchestrated by Gordon Jenkins; just lovely. Who wrote it, please?--arnie113
