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
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
[ strings ]
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
