The Hungry Years Songtext
von Engelbert Humperdinck

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 (I miss the hungry years)
The once upon a time (once upon a time)
The lovely long ago (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 (how could I be so blind)
Not to see the door (not to see the door)
Closing on the world? (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

But 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 (I miss the hungry years)
The once upon a time (once upon a time)
The lovely long ago (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 (how could I be so blind)
Not to see the door (not to see the door)
Closing on the world? (Closing on the world)
I now hunger for
Looking through my tears (looking through my tears)
I miss the hungry years (I miss the hungry years)

I miss the hungry years
