Cold, Cold Heart

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 mem'ry from your lonesome past

Keeps us so far apart

Why can't I free your debtful 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 debtful 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.

Why do you run and hide from life

To try it just ain't smart

Why can't I free your debtful mind

And melt your cold, cold heart...
