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 dreamed 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
[Verse 3]
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
[Verse 4]
She slept a summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in her stride
But she was gone when autumn came
[Verse 5]
And still I dream she'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
[Verse 6]
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
Written by: Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, Herbert Kretzmer, Jean Natel
