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 when 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
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the sky
But you can't teach my heart to forget
When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving you
Key change
When i stop dreaming that's when i'll stop loving yo
