When I Stop Dreaming Lyrics by Emmylou Harris

Luxury Liner

1976

[Intro]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

[Chorus]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

[Chorus]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
