When I Stop Loving You

When dawn's light is drawn from the moon
And morning dew arrives in the afternoon

When willows rejoice instead of weeping
And promises are no longer worth keeping

When artists paint only in dull shades of gray
And stars abandon the realm of the Milky Way

When a pen and ink no longer can I find
When love is a word that can be defined

That will be the moment when I stop loving you
And my heart forever dwell in a world of blue
