    Default

    Hello, i hope i don't take a mistake

    There was a time when men were kind
    Their voices were soft
    And their words inviting

    There was a time when love was blind
    And the world was a song
    And that song was exciting

    There was a time, and it all went wrong

    I dreamed a dream in days 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
    And 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
    As 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 dreamed he'd come to me
    That we would 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 diff'rent from this hell I'm living
    So diff'rent now from what it seemed
    Now life has killed the dream I dreamed


    *****


    FRENCH VERSION:
    J'AVAIS RÊVÉ D'UNE AUTRE VIE (I Dreamed A Dream)

    Rose Laurens


    J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
    Fantine:
    J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
    Mais la vie a tué mes rêves
    Comme on étouffe les derniers cris
    D'un animal que l'on achève
    J'avais rêvé d'un coeur si grand
    Que le mien puisse y trouver place
    Mais mon premier prince charmant
    Fut l'assassin de mon enfance
    J'ai payé de toute mes larmes
    La rançon d'un petit bonheur
    À une société qui désarme
    La victime, et pas le voleur
    J'avais rêvé d'un seul amour
    Durant jusqu'à la fin du monde
    Dont on ne fait jamais le tour
    Aussi vrai que la terre est ronde
    J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
    Mais la vie a tué mes rêves
    À peine commencée, elle finit
    Comme un court printemps qui s'achève
    J'avais rêvé d'une autre vie
    Mais la vie a tué mes rêves
    À peine commencée, elle finit
    Comme un court printemps qui s'achève
    La nuit, la nuit, je sombre en mon corps
    Et je m'abondonne à des sinistres corps à corps
    La nuit, la nuit, pour deux pièces d'or
    Quand ils font jaillir en moi leur pitoyable effort
    Ils ne savent pas qu'ils font l'amour avec la mort

    Bye ++^^

    Default The song "I dream a dream"

    Unfortunately the song from Frenchboy is not the one I'm looking for. The words of the song starts like this: " I dream a dream the other night, I dream I saw a hand. The country side was beautiful........" then I cannot make out the rest.
    I hope somone might recognise the song.
    Thanks

    Default I dreamed a dream - Roger Whittaker

    I dreamed a dream the other night
    I dreamed I saw a Hell
    The countryside was beautiful
    I heard a tolling bell
    And God provided bowls of rice
    And chopsticks 3 foot long
    And everybody grabbed his bowl, his chopsticks and was gone
    Each one sat down alone to eat
    And found to his dismay
    The rice could never touch his lips and so he’d fade away

    Chorus

    Oh a..amen(Imean?), If I had wings to fly
    I’d fly up to the highest place
    And fold and fall and die
    For now I know just what I am
    And where I’ll be tomorrow
    I have to live, within myself
    To my eternal sorrow

    I dreamed a dream another dream
    I dreamed I saw a heaven
    The countryside was beautiful
    The choir numbered, seven
    And God provided bowls of rice
    And chopsticks 3 foot long
    And everybody walked and sang,
    was healthy, fit and strong
    I wondered how and why
    They loved each sister and each brother
    Until I saw them sit to eat
    And each one fed the other

    Oh a..amen(Imean?), If I had wings to fly
    I’d fly up to the highest place
    And fold and fall and die
    For now I know just what I am
    And where I’ll be tomorrow
    I haven’t fed my brother
    To my eternal sorrow

    Oh a..amen(Imean?), If I had wings to fly
    I’d fly up to the highest place
    And fold and fall and die
    For now I know just what I am
    And where I’ll be tomorrow
    I have to live, within myself
    To my eternal sorrow


    I have to live, within myself
    To my eternal sorrow
