I Dreamed a Dream
Ruthie Henshall From-Music drama"Les Miserables" as Fontine

There was a time when men was 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
But it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would nerver died
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 the voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As 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 I still dream he'll come to me
That we will live years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot wheather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different from what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed
