Manja Vlachogianni - I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics

I dreamed a dream in times 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 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
