Emmylou Harris When I Stop Dreaming written by Ira/Charlie Louvin Mickey Raphael harmonica Hank Devito pedal steel Glen D Hardin piano Mike Auldridge dobro Brian Ahern acoustic guitar Emory Gordy bass John Ware drums Dolly Paton vocals Fayssoux Starling vocals 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 ever wanted to die. Was the night when you told me you love someone new And you 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 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 that's when I'll stop loving you SOLO When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you From Emmylou Harris "Luxury Liner" LP Warner Brothers 1977 Acuff-Rose Music
