I Dreamed A Dream( )

Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream( ) Lyrics
1.Wild Horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things that you wanted,
Well, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you
Just slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
And I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Faith has been severed, and tears must be cried
So let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away, away


2.I Dreamed A Dream

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 turn your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

And still I dream 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 different from the hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed


3.Cry Me A River

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me

And now you say you love me
Just to prove that you do
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you


4.How Great Thou Art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!


5.You'll See

You think that I can't live without your love
You'll see, you think I can't go on another day
You think I have nothing without you by my side
You'll see, somehow, someday

You think that I can never laugh again, you'll see
You think that you destroyed my faith in love
You think after all you've done I'll never find my way back home
You'll see somehow, someday

All by myself, I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive, I know I'll stay alive
All on my own, I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine, no one can take it from me, you'll see

You think that you are strong but you are weak, you'll see
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat
I have truth on my side, you only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday

All by myself, I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive, I know I'll stay alive
I'll stand on my own, I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine, no one can take it from me
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see


6.Daydream Believer

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings
The 6 o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes
The tears of yesterday don't mean a thing

Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
And our good times start and end without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?

Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?


7.Up To The Mountain

I went up to the mountain because you asked me to
Up over the clouds to where the sky was blue
I could see all around me everywhere
I could see all around me everywhere

Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
So sometimes I just lay me down, no more can I do
But then I go on again because you ask me to

Some days I look down afraid, afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines I see nothing, nothing at all
Then I hear your, your sweet voice, ooh
Come and then go, come and then go
Lord, telling me softly you love me so


8.Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see


9.Who I Was Born To Be

When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
And I heard a song in the breeze
It was there, singing out my name

But I am not a girl
I have known the taste of defeat
And I've finally grown to believe
It will all came around again

And though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here
Then I am who I was born to be

And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I've got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly

Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here
Then I am who I was born to be

When I was a child
There were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark

Though I may not know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here
Then I am who I was born to be
I am who I was born to be


10.Proud

All of my life I have watched you
climbing mountains, chasing dreams
All of my life you gave me everything
but you don't have to give the world to me

Just say you love me as I am,
say you want me as I am,
say I'm someone in your eyes,
that's all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I'm allowed,
if I'm allowed, one day I'll make you proud

All of your life you've taken chances
you've broke the rules time after time
All of your life you've gone your own way,
so give me this chance, and I'll go mine

Why can't you say you love me as I am,
say you want me as I am,
say I'm someone in your eyes,
that's all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I'm allowed,
if I'm allowed, one day I'll make you proud

Oh, one day I'll make you proud

And trying to please you now, it's all I seem to do
I've got to be me now 'cause there's already one of you
I'm on my knees so help me please

Please don't shoot me down
Though you can't see it now
Someday I'll make you proud


11.The End Of The World

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to the shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye


12.Silent Night

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
