"Dreams to Dream" is a song from the 1991 animated feature film An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, directed by Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells, with music by James Horner and lyrics by Will Jennings, based on a short instrumental piece from its predecessor An American Tail (1986). The original version was sung by Cathy Cavadini in her role of Tanya Mousekewitz during the film.

Originally, Celine Dion recorded the song[1] after Linda Ronstadt rejeted it. Finally, Linda Ronstadt changed his mind and Spielberg fired the Celine recording to make a chance to return in the Fievel saga. A single version of the song was released that year and was performed by American singer Linda Ronstadt, who had previously sung "Somewhere Out There" for An American Tail along with James Ingram. Production on the single version was done by David Foster. Released by MCA Records in late 1991, "Dreams to Dream" climbed to number 13 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart but did not cross over to the Billboard Hot 100. The music video features Ronstadt performing the song intercut with clips from Fievel Goes West. The composition was nominated in 1992 for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song but lost to Walt Disney Pictures' "Beauty and the Beast" (which Celine Dion ended up doing anyway).
