[Intro]
           
When I-I stop 


dreaming
             
That's when I'

             
ll stop loving

       
 you

[Verse 1]
    
The worst that

 I've ever bee

n hurt in my l

ife
             
The first time

             
 I ever wanted

    
 to die
             
Was the night 

            
when you told 

       
me you loved s

omeone else
             
And you asked 

              
me if I could 

    
for-get

[Chorus]
           
When I-I stop 


dreaming
             
That's when I'

             
ll stop wantin

         
g you

[Instrumental]
                

[Verse 2]
    
I'd be like a 

flower unwante

d in spring
             
Alone, neglect

             
ed, trans-plan

       
ted in vain
             
In your garden

            
 of sadness wh

        
ere it's petal

s would fall
             
In the shadows

            
 of undying pa

in

[Chorus]

           
When I-I stop 


dreaming
             
That's when I'

             
ll stop thinki

            
ng of you

[Instrumental]
                

[Verse]
    
You may teach 

the flowers to

 bloom in the 

snow
             
You may take a

             
 pebble and te

          
ach it to grow
             
You can teach 

              
all the raindr

         
ops to return 

to the clouds
             
But you can't 

              
teach my heart

       
 to forget

[Chorus]
           
When I-I stop 


dreaming
             
That's when I'

              
ll stop crying

          
 for you
