[ti:I Dreamed a Dream]
[00:16.78] There was a time when men were kind
[00:20.59] When their voices were soft
[00:24.20] And their words inviting
[00:27.60] There was a time when love was blind
[00:31.52] And the world was a song and the song was exciting
[00:38.38] There was a time
[00:43.11] Then it all went wrong
[01:04.77] I dreamed a dream in time gone by
[01:12.39] When hope was high
[01:13.97] And life worth living
[01:19.71] I dreamed that love would never die
[01:27.23] I dreamed that God would be forgiving
[01:34.45] Then I was young and unafraid
[01:41.51] And dreams were made and used and wasted
[01:48.98] There was no ransom to be paid
[01:56.40] No song unsung, no wine untasted
[02:03.83] But the tigers come at night
[02:10.28] With their voices soft as thunder
[02:17.00] As they tear your hope apart
[02:23.95] As they turn your dream to shame
[02:37.60] He slept a summer by my side
[02:43.54] He filled my days with endless wonder
[02:49.95] He took my childhood in his stride
[02:56.60] But he was gone when autumn came
[02:58.84] And still I dream he'll come to me
[03:11.90] That we will live the years together
[03:17.75] But there are dreams that cannot be
[03:23.34] And there are storms we cannot weather
[03:32.40] I had a dream my life would be
[03:38.57] So different from this hell I'm living
[03:42.33] So different now from what it seemed
[03:51.28] Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
