The Hungry Years Lyrics By Wayne Newton

    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 right would turnout 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 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 day dreams 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
    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 now hunger for
    looking through my tears
    i miss the hungry years
    i miss the hungry years
