I dreamed a dream in times 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 unsung 
No wine untasted 

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

And still I dream he'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 

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.
