Can anyone supply me with the words for a tune called 'The Hungry Years' please?

Thanks in advance - Audrey

We shared our daydreams 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 I stand just me and you
With ev’rything 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
I miss THE HUNGRY YEARS.

I LOVE that song. Should do it more often, but I keep forgetting I know it!
Good luck ... it's a powerful vocal!

UD ... always nice to see you on this side of the Zone ...

Hi there Audrey - Have you got the dots for this song? The words are lovely, I can't place the melody though - Joan

Hi, Joan,
If you go to You Tube put "The Hungry Years" into search, there are different artists singing it. I loved Shirley Bassey.

Joan if you get the dots for the song I would be grateful for a copy.
I'll sing it to the residents at my sheltered housing, it will have them in tears. No not the song, my singing.

All the best,
Fred.

If anyone has the dots or the chords I would appreciate a copy as well ....

I really liked Shirley's version - saw her in person in New York City when she was in her prime - FABULOUS !!! ... but listening to the Sedaka - McCoo version reminded me of what a pure and beautiful voice Marilyn McCoo has ...

thank you,
t.

Audrey,

I am surprised that you have made no "thank you" or comments to your post.

Hello Kit Kat,

Sorry about not replying, I've only just seen all the kind replies, the reason being we've been busy helping our youngest daughter move to a new home. Not being the 'spring chicken' I like to think I still am, I've been feeling so exhausted, I haven't looked at this Forum for awhile, but I do most sincerely thank you for your time and effort and that goes for the rest of you kind people that replied to my request as well.

Joan and Fred, I will email you the dots tomorrow, it's now 12.45pm and I really must get to bed before I fall asleep at my desk.

Goodnight and again, thanks to everyone.

Audrey

Hi Audrey ,
Ilooked up Musicnotes for the dots, but it was only available in some albums and the postage is more than the album.
I would appreciate the dots as well please.
Yes, I don't sing either, why spoil a good song?

Hi Audrey,

Could I also have a copy of the dots please?

Cheers
