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 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.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.
