Cold, Cold Heart

(Hank Williams)



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 mem'ry from your lonesome past

Keeps us so far apart

Why can't I free your debtful mind

And melt your cold, cold heart.



--- Instrumental ---



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 debtful mind

And melt your cold, cold heart.



--- Instrumental ---



You'll never know how much it hurts

To sit and watch you cry

You know you need and want my love

Yet you're afraid to try.



Why do you run and hide from life

To try it just ain't smart

Why can't I free your debtful mind

And melt your cold, cold heart...
