Brickman Medley: I Dreamed A Dream

And now I'm all alone again
 Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
 Without a home, without a friend
 Without a face to say hello to
 And now the night is near
 And I can make believe he's here
 Sometimes I walk alone at night
 When everybody else is sleeping
 I think of him and then I'm happy
 With the company I'm keeping
 The city goes to bed
 And I can live inside my head
 ♪
 On my own, pretending he's beside me
 All alone, I walked with him 'til morning
 Without him, I feel his arms around me
 And when I lose my way
 I close my eyes and he has found me
 In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
 All the lights are misty in the river
 In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
 And all I see is him and me forever and forever
 And I know (I dreamed a dream and time gone by)
 It's only in my mind (when hope was high and life worth living)
 That I'm talking to myself (I dreamed that love would never die)
 And not to him (I dreamed that God would be forgiving)
 And although, I know that he is blind
 (But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder)
 Still, I say there's a way for us (as they tear your hope apart)
 (As they turn your dream to shame)
 I love him but when the night is over (he slept a summer by my side)
 He is gone (he filled my days with endless wonder)
 The river's just a river (he took my childhood in his stride)
 Without him, the world around me changes (but he was gone when autumn came)
 The trees are bare and everywhere, the streets are full of strangers
 I love him, but every day I'm learning (and still I dream he'll come to me)
 All my life, I've only been pretending (that we will live the years together)
 (But there are dreams that cannot be)
 Without me, his world will go on turning (and there are storms we cannot weather)
 A world that's full of happiness that I have never known
 I had a dream my life would be (I love him)
 So different from this hell I'm living (I love him)
 So different now from what it seemed (I love him, but only on my own)
 Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
