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.
