Life has killed that dream I dreamed

May Fantine rest peacefully in Heaven.

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 unfraid
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 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
Then we will live the years together
but there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms that cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
so different from this hell I am living
So different now from what it seemed
Now, life has killed that dream I dreamed.
