Biography:
Neil Sedaka (born 13 March 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American pop singer, pianist, and songwriter often associated with the Brill Building era of songwriting. He teamed up with Howard Greenfield to write many major hit songs for himself and others.
Sedaka wrote his 1959 hit "Oh! Carol" about his then-girlfriend, Carol Klein, later to become Carole King. In 1963, King released a humorous answer entitled "Oh Neil".
The Laughter In the Rain Songfacts says Sedaka's hits dried up when The Beatles arrived

The Hungry years
By Neil Sedaka
A
Girl we made it to the top
Dm/A
We went so high we couldn't stop
A Dm/A
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
D/A Dm/A A Dm7 G7
Two of us together building castles in the air
C
We spun so fast we couldn't tell
Fm/C
The gold ring from the carousel
C Fm/C C
How could we know the ride would turn out bad
E7/B Am D7 G7sus4
Everything we wanted, was everything we had
G7 Fmaj7
I miss the hungry years
Fm(maj7)
The once upon a time
C/E
The lovely long ago
C D9
We didn't have a dime
Dm7 G13
Those days of me and you
Fm/G Cmaj7
We lost along the way
C9 Fmaj7
How could I be so blind
Fm(maj7)
Not to see the door
C/E
Closing on the world
C D9
I now hunger for
Dm7 G13
Looking through my tears
Fm/G C Bm7 E7
I miss the hungry years
A
We shared our day dreams one by one
Dm/A
Making plans was so much fun
A Dm/A
We set our goals and reached the highest star
D/A Dm/A A Dm7 G7
Things that we were after were much better from a far
C
Here we stand just me and you
Fm/C
With everything and nothing too
C Fm/C C
It wasn't worth the price we had to pay
E7/B Am D7sus4 D7 G7sus4
Honey take me home... Let's go back to yesterday
