Cold Cold Heart – Wanda Jackson (originally by Hank Williams)

(Cold cold heart)
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 lonely 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
How can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
(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?
(Cold, cold heart)
