cold cold heart lyrics

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 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 paying now
for things I didn't do

In anger unkind words are spoke
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

Hank Williams - Cold, Cold Heart
