I Dreamed a Dream Lyrics

I had a dream.

I had a dream of days gone by,
When hopes were high
And life worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
And then I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
That I was young and I was unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and tasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, nothing was wasted.

Then the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your dreams apart,
As they turn your dreams
To shame,shame,shame,shame.
He walked the summer.
He walked the summer by my side.
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
Oh but he was gone when autumn came!
Oh yes he was.

And still I dream
I stand right here and dream.
He'll come to me,
ANd then we will,then we will.
Then we will live this life together,
But there are dreams that cannot
That cannot, that cannot be,
And there,there are storms
That we cannot weather!
I had a dream,had a dream.
Listen, world,I had a dream
That life would be so different,so different
Whatever happened to it,oh the dream
So different from what it seems to be
Life will not kill the dream
That I dream,uh uh,no,no,no,no...
So different from what it seems to be
Life must not kill the dream
That we dream,oh no
