I've 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 and blue And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do In anger, unkind words I said that make the teardrops start Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart (Cold, cold heart) There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me But now I know your heart is shackled to that 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
