Louise Dearman - I Dreamed A Dream (From `Les Miserables / 레미제라블`)

There was a time
when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time
when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
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 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 dream he'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
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
