I Dreamed a Dream

I Dreamed A dream - Martin Nievera

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was hight and life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

When I was young and unafraid

When 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 nigth

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hopes apart

As they turn your dreams to shame

She slept a summer by my side

She filled my days with endless wonder

She took my childhood in his stride

But she was gone when autumn came

And still I dream she'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

Now life has killed

The dream I dreamed
