I tried so hard, my dear, to show That you're my every dream Yet you're afraid each thing I do It's just not evil scheme A memory from the 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, it's paying dear For things I didn't do An angry, unkind words you said They make those 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 my 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? Why can't I free your doubtful mind Melt your cold, cold heart?
