about

from les miz. me and my sister used to sing this song together when we were kids. i've always related heavily to the lyrics.

lyrics

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
and they tear your hope apart.
and 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
and we will live the years together
but there are dreams which 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.
