Lyrics for Song: I dreamed a dream
Lyrics for Album: Hot August Night II [1987]



There was a time when girls were 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

It all went wrong



I dreamed a dream of 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



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 un-tasted



But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

And they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dream to shame....



She slept this summer by my side

She filled my days with endless wonder

She took my childhood in her stride

But she was gone when autumn came



And still I dream she'll come to me

That we will spend 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

But life can't kill

The dream I dreamed
