I Dreamed A Dream (Les Miserables)
|
|
|
I dreamed a dream in times 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
|
When 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
|
|
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 autumn came
|
|
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
|
So different from this hell I'm living
|
So different now from what it seemed
|
Now life has killed
|
The dream I dreamed.
