Fantine\
There was a time when men 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\
Then it all went wrong\
I dreamed a dream in times 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 unafraid\
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\
And 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\
That we'll live 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\
Now life has killed\
The dream I dreamed.}
