Lyrics and translation
Original
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.
As they tear your hope apart.
As they turn your dreams to shame.
You slept a summer by my side.
You filled my days with endless wonder.
You took my childhood in its stride.
But you were gone when autumn came.
But still I dream you'll come to me.
And we will 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 seems.
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed

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.
As they tear your hope apart.
As they turn your dreams to shame.
You slept a summer by my side.
You filled my days with endless wonder.
You took my childhood in its stride.
But you were gone when autumn came.
But still I dream you'll come to me.
And we will 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 seems.
Now life has killed the dream
