I Dreamed A Dream lyrics

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

(But the tigers come at night)

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

(As they tear your hope apart)

As they turn your dreams to shame

And still I dream she'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 seems

Now life has killed

The dream I dreamed
