I Dreamed a Dream Lyrics
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed 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 hopes apart
And they turn your dreams to shame
And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would 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
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed that God would be forgiving
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
And they turn your dreams to shame
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed

I really wonder how no one has commented on such a good song! Well, to me this song is just like a requiem for all of the dreams that are gone and wasted. It really hurts when you realize you have give up your dreams because of bad circumstance or something else, because a piece of your heart goes away with that dream too... and that will bother you 'til the end of your life.
