Susan Boyle singing 'I Dreamed a Dream' on Britain's Got Talent.

Full Song
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.

She made comment on The Sunday Times ''I know what they were thinking, but why should it matter as long as I can sing? It's not a beauty contest.


Personal life
Susan Boyle was born 1 April 1961 in Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland,[14] to Patrick Boyle, a storeman at the British Leyland factory in Bathgate, and Bridget, a shorthand typist,[15] who were both Irish immigrants.[16] She was the youngest of four brothers and six sisters.[14] Born when her mother was 47,[14][17][18] Boyle was briefly deprived of oxygen during the difficult birth; she was diagnosed as having learning difficulties.[5] She says she was bullied as a child,[14][19] and was nicknamed "Susie Simple" at school.[20]
After leaving school with few qualifications,[14] she was employed for the only time in her life as a trainee cook in the kitchen of West Lothian College for six months,[20] and took part in government training schemes.[15] She visited the theatre from time to time to listen to professional singers,[15] and performed at a number of local venues.[5] Boyle remained active as a volunteer with the Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Blackburn.[19]
Boyle still lives in the family home, a four-bedroom council house, with her ten-year-old cat, Pebbles.[14] Her father died in the 1990s, and her siblings had left home. As she never married, Boyle was devoted to looking after her ageing mother until she died in 2007 at the age of 91.[17] She said during an interview just before she sang on the talent show that she had "never been kissed" but later said "It was just banter and it has been blown way out of proportion."[14][21] Boyle's devotion to her mother meant that she did not have any time for herself.[17] A neighbour reported that when Bridget Boyle died, her daughter "wouldn't come out for three or four days or answer the door or phone.
