Lyrics
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 paying now
For things I didn’t do
In anger, unkind words I say
That made the teardrop starts
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?
