The Louvin Brothers - When I Stop Dreaming Lyrics

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 wanted to die
Was the night when you told me you loved someone else
And you 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, neglected, transplanted in vain
In your garden of sadness where its petals will fall
In the shadows of undying pain

When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop thinking of you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You might 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.
