I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was hight and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving When I was young and unafraid When 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 nigth With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hopes apart As they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my side And filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came
I had dream my life would be So different from this will I'm leaving So different love from what it seems Now my life has killed the dream I dreamed
