There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
DonF＃
And their words inviting

There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
AonC＃
There was a time
Then 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 never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafra id
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be pa id
No song unsung
No wine untasted
B ut the tige rs come at night
W ith their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my si de
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stri de
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years toge ther
But 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
