Neil Sedaka - The Hungry Years Lyrics
Girl we made it to the topWe went so high we couldn't stopWe climbed the ladder leading us no-owhereTwo of us together, building castles in the air-air-airWe spun so fast we couldn't tellThe gold ring from the carouselHow could we know the ride would turn out badEverything we wanted, was everything we hadI miss the hungry years, The once upon a timeThe lovely long ago, We didn't have a dimeThose days of me and you, We lost along the way-ay-ayHow could I be so blind, Not to see the door-oor-oorClosing on the world, I now hunger forLooking through my tears-ears, I miss the hungry yearsWe shared our daydreams one by oneMaking plans was so much funWe set our goals and reached the highest starThings that we were after, were much better from afar-ar-ar-arHere we stand just me and youWith everything and nothing tooIt wasn't worth the price we had to payHoney, take me ho-ome, let's go back to yesterday-ay-ayI miss the hungry years, The once upon a ti-imeThe lovely long ago, We didn't have a dimeThose days of me and you, We lost along the way-ay-ayHow could I be so bli-ind, Not to see the doorClosing on the world, I now hunger forLooking through my tears-ears, I miss the hungry yearsI miss the hungry years
