When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop wanting you
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop crying for you
The worst that I've ever, been hurt in my life
The first time I ever, wanted to die
Was the night she told me you loved someone else
And asked me if I, could forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
I’d be like a flower unwanted in spring
Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain
To a garden of sadness where its petals would fall
In the shadow of undying pain
You may teach the flowers, to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble, and teach it to grow
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 loving you
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
