Cold Cold Heart Lyrics

(Hank Williams)

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 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.

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 debtful 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.

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...
