Cold, Cold Heart Lyrics

Charlie Rich Cold, Cold Heart

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 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.
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

(cold, cold heart)
