I've tried so hard my dear to show That you're my eve-ry dream Yet you're a-fraid each thing I do Is just some e-vil scheme A memo-ry from your lone-some past Keeps us so far a-part Why can't I free your doubt-ful mind And melt your cold, cold heart An-oth-er love be-fore my time Made your heart sad an' blue And so my heart is pay-ing now For things, I did-n't do In an-ger, un-kind words are said That make the tear-drops start Why can't I free your doubt-ful mind And melt your cold, cold heart There was a time when I believ-ed That you belong-ed to me But now I know your heart is shackl-ed To a me-mo-ry The more I learn to care for you The more we drift a-p--art Why cant I feel you de-vil mind and melt your cold cold heart lah lah lah lah la�
