I Dreamed a Dream
There was a time when men were kind
- There was a time when men were kind
- When their voices were soft
- And their words inviting
- There was a time when love was blind
- And the world was a song
- And the song was exciting
- There was a time
- Then it all went wrong
- I dreamed a dream in time gone by
- When hope was high
- And life worth living
- I dreamed that love would never die
- I dreamed that God would be forgiving
- 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
- But the tigers come at night
- With their voices soft as thunder
- As they tear your hope apart
- And they turn your dream to shame
- He slept a summer by my side
- He filled my days with endless wonder
- He took my childhood in his stride
- But he was gone when autumn came
- And still I dream he'll come to me
- That we will live the years together
- But there are dreams that cannot be
- And there are storms we cannot weather
- 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
