There was a time when men were kind

when there 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

It all went wrong...

Sam Puckett had a chance to be with Freddie Benson. In fact, she almost was.

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

Sam and Freddie were almost there. They were in love. They had high hopes and dreams. Nothing was wrong.

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dream to shame

Everything was fine until Carly changed her mind. That she now loved him also.

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

He was with her and he left her. He didn't come back.

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

Every day Sam waited for him. She gave up.

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 dream.
