[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.
