I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When the hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgivingThen 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 untastedBut the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shameAnd still I dream she'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
