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.
