Lyrics

[ti:i dreamed a dream]
[ar:hayley westenra]
[00:00.106] I dreamed a dream in days gone by
[00:20.286] When hope was high and life worth living
[00:27.806] I dreamed that love would never die
[00:34.936] I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
[00:42.346] Then I was young and unafraid
[00:49.406] And dreams were made and used and wasted.
[00:57.276] There was no ransom to be paid,
[01:04.706] No song unsung,no wine untasted.
[01:12.306] But the tigers come at night
[01:19.856] With their voices soft as thunder
[01:27.126] As they tear your hope apart
[01:34.666] As they turn your dream to shame.
[01:50.146] He slept a summer by my side,
[01:57.566] He filled my days with endless wonder.
[02:04.796] He took my childhood in his stride
[02:12.286] But he was gone when autumn came.
[02:23.726] And still I dreamed he'd come to me,
[02:30.586] That we would live the years together
[02:38.126] But there are dreams that can not be
[02:45.436] And there are storms we can not weather.
[02:56.976] I had a dream my life would be
[03:04.346] So different from this hell I'm living,
[03:07.836] So different now from what it seemed
[03:14.766] Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
