When I Stop Dreaming
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 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 wanting you
I'd be like a flower, unwanted in spring
Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain
To a garden of sadness where its pеtals will fall
In the shadows of undying pain
When I stop dreaming
That's whеn I'll stop thinking of you
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the 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
