Intro

      

Verse 1

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. 

Verse 2

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. 

Bridge

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.   

Verse 3

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.   

Verse 4

And still I dreamed 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. 

Ending

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.
