When I Stop Dreaming

George Jones & Tammy Wynette



(Both)

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop wanting you.



(George)

The worst that 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.



(Both)

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop thinking you.



(Tammy)

I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring

Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain

To a garden of sadness where it's pedals would fall

In the shadow of undying pain.



(Both)

When I stop dreaming

That's when I'll stop loving you.



(George)

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow

You may take a pebble and teach it to grow

(Both)

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 loving you...
