I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics - Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast) - Alain Boublil

[Fantine is left alone, unemployed and destitute.] 

 

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.
