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 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 payin’ for things i didn’t do
in anger, unkind words i say that make the teardrops start
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 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?
