GEORGE JONES
"When I Stop Dreaming"
(Charlie Louvin / Ira Louvin)

[Both:]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop wanting you.

[George:]
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 else
And asked me if I could forget.

[Both:]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop thinking you.

[Tammy:]
I'd be like a flower unwanted in spring
Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain
To a garden of sadness where it's pedals would fall
In the shadow of undying pain.

[Both:]
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you.

[George:]
You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
[Both:]
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
