about

(Ira & Charles Louvin, Sony/ATV Acuff Rose Music, BMI)

A classic Louvin Brothers song.

lyrics

Ref.: 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 that 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 petals would fall
In the shadow of undying pain.

When I stop dreaming
That’s when 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 may 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.

When I stop dreaming
That’s when I’ll stop loving you.
