When I Stop Dreaming
Hank Locklin · Country Hall of Fame [RCA] [1968]
(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)
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 new
And asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you.
--- Instrumental ---
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
And 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 loving you...
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 new
And asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you.
