Cold, Cold Heart

Hank Williams Jr. · Sings The Songs Of Hank Williams [1964]

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?
