Aretha Franklin - I Dreamed a Dream lyrics

I had a dream i had a dream of days gone by
When hopes were high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
And then I dreamed that
God would be forgiving
That I was young and I was unafraid
And dreams were made and used and tasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, nothing was wasted

Then the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your dreams apart
As they turn your dreams
To shame, shame, shame, shame

He walked the summer
He walked the summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
Oh, but he was gone when autumn came
Oh yes he was

And still I dream
I stand right here and dream he'll come to me
ANd then we will, then we will
Then we will live this life together
But there are dreams that cannot
That cannot, that cannot be and there
There are storms that we cannot weather
I had a dream, had a dream
Listen, world, I had a dream
That life would be so different, so different
Whatever happened to it? Oh, the dream, yeah
So different from what it seems to be
Life will not kill the dream
That I dream, uh uh, no no, no no
So different from what it seems to be
Life must not kill the dream
That we dream, oh, oh, oh no
