There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
EonG＃
And their words inviting
B7onA
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
AonC＃
And the song was exciting
BonE♭
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth li ving
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgi ving
Then I was young and unafra id
And dreams were made and used and w asted
There was no ransom to be pa id
No song unsung
No wine unta sted
B ut the tige rs come at ni ght
W ith their voices soft as t hunder
As they tear y our hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my si de
He filled my days with endless wo nder
He took my childhood in his stri de
But he was gone when autumn came
A nd still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years toge ther
B ut there are dream s that cannot be
And there are storm s we cannot we ather!
I had a dream my life would be
S o different fr om this hell I'm living
So different now, from what it se ems
Now life has killed the dr eam I dreamed
