Susan Boyle - Cry Me A River (1999)

While the world is abuzz with Susan Boyle's rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables at the audition of Britain's Got Talent, many people have wondered if she has sung anything else before.

Well, it's too bad that while almost all the videos uploaded to YouTube has disabled embedding on other websites, perhaps due to copyright or something, I found this video of Susan Boyle singing Cry Me A River in 1999. The information provided for the video mentions that there were only a thousand copies of the charity CD made. This would probably be something of a collector's item now.

Anyway, if you are looking for the lyrics to I Dreamed A Dream, here it is. Enjoy!

I Dreamed A Dream (from Les Miserables)

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.

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.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives 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 seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
