Ervin Darke wrote the song, "It Was a Very Good Year," that was recorded by Frank Sinatra. The lyrics are: "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.//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/We'd ride in limousines/Their chauffeurs would drive/When I was thirty-five.//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."
