Intro :
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 un afraid
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 thunde r
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to sham e
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 autum n ca me
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years to gether
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life wou ld be
So differen t from th is hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
