When

When tears never fall,

and birds never fly,

Winter never ends,

and children never cry

When the sun never shines,

and the moon never glows

When darkness is too bright,

and the river never flows

When the nights are not dark,

and the days are not light

When forever does finally end,

and the eyes have no sight

When confusion is so clear,

and voices can't be heard

The sunset never fades,

and no one says a word

When ears cannot hear,

and the grass never grows

When silence is too loud,

and the genius never knows

When strength doesn't strengthen,

and flowers never bloom

When hearts can't be broken,

and eternity is too soon

When the wind never blows,

and the rain is never wet

When thunder can't be heard,

and the sun refuses to set

When a dreamer cannot dream,

and the obvious can't be found

When the ocean is not deep,

and the earth is not round

When angels don't protect,

and a fact is not true

When life can't be lived,

and the sky is not blue

When the truth is a lie,

and the fake becomes so real

The clock shows no time,

and wounds never heal

When enjoyment isn't fun,

and bells cannot ring

When a race cannot be won,

and a singer cannot sing

When pain does not hurt,

and enemies never fight

When rainbows have no color,

and something wrong seems so right

When all these things finally happen,

when they finally come true

That's when I, without a doubt

...will stop loving you.
