     (C)       (F)          (C)             (G)   (C)
When I stop dreaming, that when I'll stop loving you...
     (C)             (F)       (C)
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
     (G)                              (D)
the first time I ever have wanted to die.
         (C)            (C7)        (F)
Was the night when you told me you love someone else
     (C)               (G)
and asked if I could forget.
     (C)       (F)           (C)             (G)    (C)
When I stop dreaming, thats 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 pedals would fall
in the shadows of undying pain.
When I stop dreaming, thats when I'll stop thinking of you
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the spring
you may take a pedal 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,Thats when I'll stop cryin' for you

When I stop dreaming, thats 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 pedals would fall

in the shadows of undying pain.

When I stop dreaming, thats when I'll stop thinking of you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the spring

you may take a pedal 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,Thats when I'll stop cryin' for you
