When I Stop Dreaming

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
