歌词：

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 ransom¹ 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
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 hell² I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
