| 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 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 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… |
