I dreamed a dream
In time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love
Would never die
I prayed 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
Hopes apart
And they turn your
Dreams to shame
Still 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 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
