[00:16.67]There was a time when men were kind,
[00:20.36]And their voices were soft,
[00:24.27]And their words inviting.
[00:27.68]There was a time when love was blind,
[00:31.07]And the world was a song,
[00:34.20]And the song was exciting.
[00:38.00]There was a time when it all went wrong...
[00:49.24]I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
[01:05.71]When hope was high and life, worth living.
[01:12.14]I dreamed that love would never die,
[01:19.35]I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
[01:26.36]Then I was young and unafraid,
[01:33.38]And dreams were made and used and wasted.
[01:40.48]There was no ransom to be paid,
[01:47.72]No song unsung, no wine, untasted.
[01:55.25]But the tigers come at night,
[02:01.41]With their voices soft as thunder,
[02:08.30]As they tear your hope apart,
[02:15.11]And they turn your dream to shame.
[02:27.04]He slept a summer by my side,
[02:33.95]He filled my days with endless wonder...
[02:40.91]He took my childhood in his stride,
[02:47.35]But he was gone when autumn came!
[02:56.89]And still I dream he'll come to me,
[03:03.33]That we will live the years together,
[03:10.48]But there are dreams that cannot be,
[03:16.29]And there are storms we cannot weather!
[03:23.38]I had a dream my life would be
[03:33.22]So different from this hell I'm living,
[03:36.90]So different now from what it seemed...
[03:43.41]Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...
