I Dreamed a Dream, Susan Boyle



Susan Boyle, the 47 year old Scot lady stunned millions of people around the world. She became instant celebrity after her performance in the TV show "Britain's Got Talents". She sang I dreamed a dream from the Les Miserables. I watched her performance on youtube Susan Boyle - "I Dreamed a Dream" and it just made my day! Amazing voice and stunning performance!

It was so moving. The audience and the judges were cynical at first but when Boyle opened her mouth to sing, the judgmental crowd were surprised.


"I Dreamed a Dream" lyrics

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
When 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 hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives 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 seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
