Eddy Arnold - 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 mem'ry 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 those teardrops start

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

[ guitar ]

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me

But now I see 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
