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 mem'ry from your lonesome past
keeps us so far a-part
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 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.
