When in the Les Miserables this was sang?
This is sang by Fantine alone, when she was chased out of her job by the Foreman and her fellow lady workers.
Fantine
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... that it all went wrong.
I dreamed the dream when 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.
When I was young and unafraid,
The dreams were made, and used, and wasted.
There's no ransom to be paid.
No song unsung, no wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night,
With their voice were 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 dream he'll to me,
That we will live in years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot wither.
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.
