The Hungry Years

My favourite - ever - Neil Sedaka song.
Tells the strory of a lost youth, the yearning for 'better' things and what real happiness and satisfaction is...

Girl we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't stop
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
The 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
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
But the things that we were after
Seem much better, from afar
Here we stand just me and you
With everything and nothing too
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
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

That could be my story... 8)

Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.
