When I Stop Dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you 
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life 
the first time I ever have wanted to die

and 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 the raindrops to return to the sky 
but you can't teach my heart to forget 

When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you 
Key change 
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
