Lyrics When I Stop Dreaming - Etta James

When I Stop Dreaming

Now listen
The worst that I 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 you asked me, if I, I could forget, oh yeah

When I stop dreaming, oh yeah
That's when I'll, stop loving you, oh yeah

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it how to grow, yes you would
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you can't, you can't teach my heart to forget, oh no, no, no

Oh, when I, when I, oh, stop dreaming, alright
That's when, oh, I'll stop loving you baby, yes, I will
When I, I'll, I'll stop loving you
