PLEASE READ - by request for SoHillsVetTech – a beautiful song and so perfect for Erik! Follows lyrics – most of it told in Erik’s POV, a tad shown in Christine’s – showing Erik reminiscing throughout vid of what he had and what could have been, etc – both the PotO past and LND past – sepia toned clips within vid denote a dream not yet realized. This is a very sad song, but I had to end it somewhat hopeful (you know me! lol) – at end of vid the sepia-toned color shows the dream is past, but the end (just like the 2004 movie did with the rose) – shows color comes back, symbolic that they are together for eternity. Clips credit – Pond5 - E/C manip I made...at some key parts I used a little from promos to better fit lyrics/tell story...
Lyrics to “I Dreamed a Dream” sung by Ramin Karimloo
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 hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
She slept a summer by my side
She filled my days with endless wonder
She took my childhood in its stride
But she was gone when autumn came
And still I dream she'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.
