I Dreamed A Dream (From "Les Mis'erables")

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
 Then 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, he walked 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 (oh yes he was)
 And still I dream he'll come to me
 And than we will live the years together
 But there are dreams that cannot be
 And there are storms that we cannot weather
 I had a dream that life would be
 So different, what in the hell is going on
 So different from what it seems to be
 Life will not kill the dreams that I dreamed
 So different from what it seems to be
 Life must not kill the dreams that we dreamed (oh, oh)
