When I Stop Dreaming
Composer(s): Ira Louvin; Charlie Louvin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists



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 new 
And you asked me if I could forget 

When I stop dreaming 
That's when I'll stop loving 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
