[00:09.40]
[00:17.05]There was a time when men were kind,
[00:21.11]And their voices were soft,
[00:24.08]And their words inviting.
[00:27.72]There was a time when love was blind,
[00:31.95]And the world was a song,
[00:34.81]And the song was exciting.
[00:38.19]There was a time when it all went wrong...
[00:49.71]
[01:06.15]I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
[01:13.14]When hope was high and life, worth living.
[01:19.84]I dreamed that love would never die,
[01:26.65]I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
[01:33.75]Then I was young and unafraid,
[01:40.66]And dreams were made and used and wasted.
[01:47.35]There was no ransom to be paid,
[01:54.77]No song unsung, no wine, untasted.
[01:59.99]
[02:01.80]But the tigers come at night,
[02:08.15]With their voices soft as thunder,
[02:15.83]As they tear your hope apart,
[02:22.31]And they turn your dream to shame.
[02:36.67]He slept a summer by my side,
[02:42.99]He filled my days with endless wonder...
[02:49.64]He took my childhood in his stride,
[02:56.49]But he was gone when autumn came!
[03:02.79]
[03:06.85]And still I dream he'll come to me,
[03:13.27]That we will live the years together,
[03:19.38]But there are dreams that cannot be,
[03:26.02]And there are storms we cannot weather!
[03:32.82]
[03:35.03]I had a dream my life would be
[03:41.78]So different from this hell I'm living,
[03:45.78]So different now from what it seemed...
[03:55.02]Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...
