I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics

[Fantine is left alone, unemployed and destitute.] Fantine There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong
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 Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/i-dreamed-a-dream-lyrics-les-miserables.html ] No wine untasted
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And 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
