8. I Dreamed A Dream
Made more popular recently by Anne Hathaway’s award-winning portrayal of the classic heroine Fantine in the movie version of Les Miserables, I Dreamed a Dream is a song choice not for the faint of heart. If you can’t cry on cue and hit some tricky notes, maybe you’re not ready for this one.
“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.”
