I dreamed a dream

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

As they turn your dream to shame

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

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living

So different from this hell I'm living

So different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
