Lyrics
When I Stop Dreaming
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life the first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night that you told me you loved someone new and asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
[ ac.guitar ]
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
And you may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may 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
