[Fantine] 
 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 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
