00:00When men were kind, when their voices were soft, and their words inviting,
00:10There was a time when love was blind, and the world was a song,
00:18And the song was exciting, there was a time.
00:29Then it all went wrong.
00:47I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
00:55When hope was high and life worth living.
01:03I dreamed that love would never die.
01:11I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
01:18Then I was young and unafraid,
01:26And dreams were made and used and wasted.
01:33There was no ransom to be paid,
01:40No sung unsung, no wine untasted.
01:48But the tigers come at night,
01:55With their voices soaked as thunder,
02:02As they tear your hope apart.
02:10As they turn your dream to share.
02:24He snuffed a summer by my side,
02:31He filled my days with endless wonder.
02:38He took my childhood in his stride,
02:46But he was gone when autumn came.
02:56And still I dream it'll come to be,
03:03That we will live the years together.
03:10But there are dreams that cannot be,
03:17And there are storms we cannot weather.
03:22I had a dream my life would be,
03:33So different from this hell I live in,
03:39So different now from what it seemed.
03:45Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
