Jerry Lee Lewis - Cold Cold Heart

COLD, COLD HEART
(Hank Williams)
JERRY LEE LEWIS (Sun 364, 1961)

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 doubful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad ans 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 doubful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts
To see you sit and cry
You know you nedd and want my love
Yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life
To try it, just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubful 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 doubful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
