When I Stop Dreaming

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop wanting 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 else

And asked me if I could forget

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop thinking of you

I'd be like a flower being unwanted in spring

Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain

To a garden of sadness, where it's pedals would fall

In the shadows of undying pain

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop loving you

You may teach all 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 clouds

But, you can't teach my heart to forget

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop loving you
