I Dreamed A Dream

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 forgivingThen 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 untastedBut the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hopes apart

And they turn your dream to shameStill I dream 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 weatherI 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
