I dreamed a dream

I dreamed the 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

When I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
And they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame

She slept a summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in his stride
But she was gone when autumn came

And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will spend the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
Oh yeah

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
But life can killed the dream I dreamed
