Aretha Franklin I Dreamed A Dream Lyrics

I Dreamed A Dream lyrics

I had a dream, mmm

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 our dream had gone when we forgiving

Then I was young and I was not afraid
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 so thundering
And as they tear your dreams apart
As they turn your dreams to shame, shame, shame, shame

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

And still I dream
I stand like he’ll leave me or come to me
And then we will, then we will
Then we will live life together

But there are dreams that cannot, that cannot, cannot be
And oh, the stars cannot weather
I had a dream, had a dream
Listen well, I had a dream
That life would be so different, so different
What in the hell is going on today, yeah
So different from what it seems to be
Life will not kill the dreams that I dream
Ah, ah, no, no, no, no
So different from what it seems to be
Life must not kill the dreams that we dream
Oh, oh no
