The Hungry Years Lyrics - Neil Sedaka

Girl we made it to the top 

We went so high we couldn't stop 

We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere 

Two of us together 

Building castles in the 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

How could I be so blind 

Not to see the door 

Closing on the world 

I now hunger for 

Looking through my tears 

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 

The things that we were after 

Were much better from afar 

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 home 

Let's go back to yesterday 

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 

How could I be so blind 

Not to see the door 

Closing on the world 

I know hunger for 

Looking through my tears 

I miss the hungry years 

I miss the hungry years
