it starts when I was seventeen

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

Thankyou very much

If its the right one I think it is called...

"When I was Seventeen" and goes on with "I had a very good life"

Sadly my dad died on Wednesday, The vicar asked us what song we want to play , we do know one but cannot think of the name.!

He loved Frank Sinatra and we believe it was by him, he had looked for it for ages and eventually did find it! but we cannot remember it.

We would love to play it for him so can anyone help?

It tells the story of the singers life..going throught different stages. Unfortunately that is all I know. Sorry for being so vague.

Thanks Alison
