[00:00.000]
[00:17.738]There was a time when men were kind
[00:21.619]When their voices were soft
[00:25.177]And their words inviting
[00:28.876]There was a time when love was blind
[00:32.898]And the world was a song
[00:35.763]And the song was exciting
[00:39.674]There was a time
[00:44.091]Then it all went wrong
[00:50.226]
[01:01.394]I dreamed a dream in times gone by
[01:08.890]When hope was high
[01:10.754]And life worth living
[01:16.170]I dreamed that love would never die
[01:24.019]I dreamed that god would be forgiving
[01:29.630]
[01:31.459]Then I was young and unafraid
[01:38.851]And dreams were made and used and wasted
[01:46.067]There was no ransom to be paid
[01:53.397]No song unsung
[01:55.126]No wine untasted
[01:59.019]
[02:01.258]But the tigers come at night
[02:08.625]With their voices soft as thunder
[02:15.403]As they tear your hope apart
[02:22.538]And they turn your dream to shame
[02:34.979]
[02:35.892]He slept a summer by my side
[02:43.236]He filled my days with endless wonder
[02:50.337]He took my childhood in his stride
[02:57.555]But he was gone when autumn came
[03:03.002]
[03:08.418]And still i dream he'll come to me
[03:15.126]That we'll live the years together
[03:21.725]But there are dreams that cannot be
[03:28.597]And there are storms we cannot weather
[03:36.445]
[03:38.933]I had a dream my life would be
[03:45.637]So different from this hell I'm living
[03:49.947]So different now from what it seemed
[03:55.676]
[03:56.888]Now life has killed
[03:59.382]The dream i dreamed.
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 times 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
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
That we'll 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.
