Lyrics

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 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 you
