I Dreamed A Dream

A/N:

Again I've posted a movie version of a song becaue here with Anne it feels like it is actually Fantine, whereas on the stage it feels there is more emphasis on the "prettiness" of the vocals. I've seen it live twice and I've watched plenty of versions, but, I must say, this is my favourite so far. It's absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time.

Enjoy!

I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables

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 time 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
So 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 will 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
