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 I prayed that God would be forgiving [Verse 2] Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and 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 hopes apart And they turn your dreams to shame [Verse 3] Still I dreamed he'd come to me That we would live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather [Verse 4] I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
