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 time gone by
When hope was high
And love was blind

A life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept the summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my breath away from me
Childhood in his stride
But he was gone when all of them came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
In the storms we've been through
And we can't hide the weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
And life has killed the dream I dreamed
And life has killed the dream I dreamed

And life has killed the dream I dreamed
And life has killed the dream I dreamed
