I dreamed a dream susan boyle I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high a nd 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 a nd wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song un-sung n o wine un-tasted.
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame. 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 hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed.
BGT susan boyle script Amanda : Wooiii ...!! Piers : Come back here...! Simon : All right. Thank you very much, Susan. Piers. Piers : Without a doubt, that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years of the show. When you stood there with that cheeky grin and said "I want to be like Elaine Paige", everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now, That was stunning. An incredible performance. Amazing. I am reeling. I’m shocked. How about you two? (Susan gestured a flying kiss to judge Piers) Amanda : I'm so thrilled because I know everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being very cynical and I think that’s the biggest wake up call ever. I just want to say that it was a complete privileged, listening to that. It was extreme privileged. (Susan whispered, "Thank you very much!" to the judge Amanda's comment and audience applauded)
BGT susan boyle script Simon : Susan, I knew the minute you walked out... Susan : Oh, Simon! Simon : ...on that stage that we were going to hear something extraordinary (two judges laugh out loud and the audience) and I was right. Susan, you are a little tiger, aren't you? Susan : I don’t know about that! Simon : The moment of truth. Piers, yes or no? Piers : The biggest yes, I have ever given anybody. (Susan showed a very big smile and audience applauded) Simon : Amanda? Amanda : Yes, definitely. It's brilliant. Susan : Amanda, you too. (surprised to hear the second yes) Simon : Susan, you can go back to your village, with your head held high. Its 3 yeses.
