When I Stop Dreaming
Dottie West · Dottie and Don (w Don Gibson) [RCA Victor] [1969]
(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you.
Well, the worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
The first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night you told me you found someone else
And asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you.
You may teach all 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 loving you...
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you.
Well, the worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
The first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night you told me you found someone else
And asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you.
You may teach all 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 loving you...
