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 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
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
I had a dream my life would be
So different from
this hell I'm living
So different from
this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
the dream I dreamed
