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 unsong no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder And they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame But still I dream she'd come to me And we would live those years together But there are dreamswhich 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 seems But life has killed the dream I dream
