The Hungry Years lyrics

Artist  : Neil Sedaka 
Song : The Hungry Years
 
												
														   Girl we made it to the top

We went so high we couldn't stop

We
climbed the ladder leading us no-owhere

Two
of us together, building castles in the
air-air-air



We spun so fast we
couldn't tell

The gold ring from the
carousel

How could we know the ride would
turn out bad

Everything we wanted, was
everything we had



I miss the hungry
years, The once upon a time

The lovely long
ago, We didn't have a dime

Those days of me
and you, We lost along the way-ay-ay



How could I be so blind, Not to see the
door-oor-oor

Closing on the world, I now
hunger for

Looking through my tears-ears, I
miss the hungry years



We shared our
daydreams one by one

Making plans was so
much fun

We set our goals and reached the
highest star

Things that we were after,
were much better from afar-ar-ar-ar



Here we stand just me and you

With
everything and nothing too

It wasn't worth
the price we had to pay

Honey, take me
ho-ome, let's go back to yesterday-ay-ay



I miss the hungry years, The once upon
a ti-ime

The lovely long ago, We didn't
have a dime

Those days of me and you, We
lost along the way-ay-ay



How could I
be so bli-ind, Not to see the door

Closing
on the world, I now hunger for

Looking
through my tears-ears, I miss the hungry years

I miss the hungry years
