D-DU-UDU
 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
 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
 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.
