Engelbert Humperdinck - The Hungry Years Lyrics
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
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

Great tune
@123Rockchild..Of course Neil Sedaka the song writer doing this song is the best. But this is the best cover of the song. I've heard Frank Sinatra, Rita Coolidge, Johnny Mathis and Nancy Sinatra cover this song but no one has covered this song as well as Engelbert Humperdinck.
So beautiful
Oh I’m sampling the shit out of this song!
ahhh, Sir EH u do it every time.....thank u !!❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷from this little Greek Girl in So. CA🙋🙋🙌💃⚘😙😍
Песня потрясающая!Голос изумительный!
Muito bom
Thank you so very much,Mr. Engilbert Humperdink for allowing me to enjoy your beautiful songs.
NO one does it better than the original....Neil Sedaka.
no one is stating it is better than Neil Sedaka. i've listened to several covers of this classic Neil Sedaka song. This is the best cover of this song.

I'm sorry you have it wrong, Englebert humperdinck's version us much better. The only song I like front Neil sedaka is Laughter in the rain.
I beg to differ!
I have to say I definitely prefer Englebert's version 1000 times!
@Bill Cleveland I'm french and i totally agree with you! Engelbert is incredible! But the x factor uk winner in 2009, called Joe Mac Elderry, has covered this beautiful song too, when he was 22 years old and he was really fantastic! I suggest to you seing him on you tube!
Beautiful song..great performance!
Nagyon tetszett ez a szép dal.
Csodálatos volt az énekes,
