Fantine's Dream
from Les Misérables
Written by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, Herbert Kretzmer
Fantine reflects on her tragic descent from a hopeful young woman to a destitute factory worker turned prostitute. She mourns the loss of her innocence and the man who abandoned her, ultimately concluding that the harsh realities of life have destroyed her dreams.
FANTINE: There was a time when men were kind,
When their 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...
Then it all went wrong.
