Charlie Rich - 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 I said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

(Cold, cold heart)

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to that memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Oh, why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

(Cold, cold heart)
(Cold, cold heart)
Oh, such a (cold, cold heart)
Such a (cold, cold heart)
(Cold, cold heart)
