I Dreamed A Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die Dreamed that God would be forgiving [Verse 2] And I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used, not wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted [Bridge] But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart As they tear your dreams to shame [Verse 3] She slept a summer by my side And filled my days with endless wonder She took my childhood in her stride But she was gone when autumn came [Verse 4] And still I dream she'll come to me And we will spend the years together But there are dreams that cannot be, yeah There are storms we cannot weather, oh [Verse 5] I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now than what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
