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 said that make the 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 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?
