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.

Then 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,
And they turn your dreams to shame.


He walked, he walked 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! (oh yes he was)

And still I dream he'll come to me,
And that we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms that we cannot weather!

I had a dream that life would be
So different, what in the hell is going on
So different from what it seems to be
Life will not kill the dreams that I dreamed
So different from what it seems to be
Life must not kill the dreams that we dreamed...
