Tuning: C, E A D G B E
[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
