Cold, Cold Heart
I tried so hard, my dear, to
show
that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome
past
keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love, before my time,
made your heart sad
an' blue,
and so my heart is paying now
for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold
heart?
You'll never know how much it hurts
to see you sit
and cry
You know you need and want my love
yet you're afraid to
try
Why do you run and hide from life?
To try it just ain't smart
Why
can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
There was a time when I
believed
that you belonged to me
but now I know your heart is
shackled
to a memory
The more I learn to care for
you
the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
