Williams, Robbie - It Was A Very Good Year Lyrics






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 light 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 perfume hair that 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 are 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. It poured
sweet and clear. It was a very good year

Williams, Robbie It Was A Very Good Year Comments
  1. �.... �....

    Проникновенно !!!

  2. E.... M....

    I absolutely love this version, not just because Robbie sounds fantastic singing 'with' Frank, but you can tell how much this meant to him.

  3. D.... F....

    A nice version but it can't begin to compare to Sinatra's version, what with his lower voice and the depth of gravitas he gave to the lyrics. Still nice to hear the "medley" and how Williams pays homage to ole blue eyes. - Fan of both singers

  4. B.... H....

    ich liebe es

  5. k.... m....

    Belíssima música ❤

  6. L.... S....

    When I was 17 it was 2016 and personally it was a pretty bad year soo...can't relate

    J.... H....

    This song is supposed to have a meaning for those who have lived than 18 years. Even for Robbie, who has only 44, it cannot relate...

  12. m.... p....

    wonderful song

  13. B.... B....

    His performance is so fantastic 👌

  14. D.... ....

    Good rendition not taking anything away from Robbie, but this comes no where close to Sinatra's.

    D.... ....

    I love Robbie Williams; I love this concert. I listened to this CD over and over again. But you are right... No one can sing like Sinatra... (and I love Presley, and Dean Martin and many many more...) Goosebumps all over, again and again.

  15. S.... c....

    Robbie is a masterpiece. A work of Art.  There is hardly any difference in sound between Frank and Robbie. Magic is what this is. Magic.
