(Ira LouvinCharlie Louvin)

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



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 all the raindrops

To return to the clouds

But you can't teach my heart

To forget
