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.

memory from your lonesome 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 an' 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 doubtful 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 doubtful mind 
And melt your cold cold heart...
