Template:When I Stop Dreaming

From ElvisCostello

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop loving you

The worst I've ever been hurt in my life

The first time I ever, Lord, I wanted to die

Was the night when you told me you loved someone else

And asked me if I could forget

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop wanting you

I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring

Alone and neglected transplanted in vain

To a garden of sadness where its pedals will fall

In the shadow of undying pain

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop thinking of you

You can teach all the flowers to bloom in snow

You may take a pebble and teach it to grow

And you can teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds

But you can't teach my heart to forget

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop crying for you
