I Dreamed a Dream lyrics

[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 prayed that God would be forgiving

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
