How Can We Hang On to a Dream? is a song composed and recorded by Tim Hardin.

Many covers of the song have been recorded by prominent artists of the age, including a 1969 psychedelic rock recording by the short-lived band, Gandalf. a cover version with a choral arrangement by Duncan Browne was recorded by The Nice, as "Hang on to a Dream," on their third album, Nice and Nazareth on Snakes 'N' Ladders (1989). A closer cover version was performed by Fleetwood Mac on a 1968 BBC recording, released on Live at the BBC in 2001. Emerson, Lake & Palmer covered it on The Return of the Manticore. Johnny Hallyday released a French version in 1967, as "Je m'accroche à mon rêve," with French lyrics by Georges Aber. The Lemonheads released a cover of the track as a bonus addition to online editions of their 2009 covers album Varshons. Life of Riley - The Lightening Seeds Collection includes a cover version of the song. Françoise Hardy recorded the song for her album En Anglais under the title, "Hang on to a Dream." The Moody Blues with Denny Laine recorded two complete versions of the song (on April 5, 1966 and July 5, 1966).
