I Dreamed a Dream
As sung by Padme Amidala, of Anakin Skywalker
Padme:
There was a time when he was kind
When his voice was soft
And his 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
Then it all went wrong
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 the Force would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no Emp'ror to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the Sith Lords 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 loving in his stride
But he was gone when Sidious 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 curse I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now he has killed the dream I dreamed.

A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to get this up! Thanks to all who reviewed my previous songs, I hope you enjoy this one too!
As always, reviews, and especially constructive criticism, appreciated!
eris wannabe: That's cool! We never really sang the medley, but our marching band did do Les Miz as a show so we'd sing the songs on the band bus – hope your show went well!
LiterateSamwise: I never got to actually see Les Miz in the theatre, but I did see the TV special where they sang all the Les Miz songs, which is where I learned some of the tunes – others I got from marching band. Hope your show went well!
Minaker: Glad you enjoyed the songs! I love both Star Wars and Les Miz too (lol, well, obviously, since I'm doing the music from Les Miz as Star Wars music). Actually, I never actually saw Les Miz, but I've read enough about it to get a general idea of the plot – and the music is awesome! For both Star Wars and Les Miz, actually – John Williams has to be my favorite composer!
