Lyrics

I’ve tried so hard, my dear, to show that you’re my ev ’ry (G7)dream,

yet you’re a fraid each thing I do

is just some e vil (C7)scheme.

A mem ’ry from your lone some past

keeps us so far a (F)part.

Why (G7)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 and (G7)blue,

and so my heart is pay ing now

for things I did n’t (C7)do.

In an ger un kind words I said

that made the tear drops (F)start.

Why (G7)can’t I free your doubt ful mind and melt your cold, cold (C7)heart?

There was a time when I be lieved that you be longed to (G7)me,

but now I know your heart is shack led

to a mem o (C7)ry.

The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift a (F)part.

Why (G7)can’t I free

your doubt ful mind

and melt your cold, cold heart?
