I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics - Hayley Westenra

Original text: Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel 

I dreamed a dream in days 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 

As 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 dreamed he'd come to me, 

That we would live the years together 

But there are dreams that can not be 

And there are storms we can not weather. 

I had a dream my life would be 

So different from this hell I'm living, 

So different now from what it seemed
