Lyrics

I (F)tried so hard, my dear, to show that you’re my ev ’ry (C7)dream, yet you’re a fraid each thing I do is just some e vil (F)scheme.

A mem ’ry from your lone some past keeps (F7)us so far a (Bb)part.

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

An oth er love be fore my time made your heart sad and (C7)blue, and so my heart is pay ing now for things I did n’t (F)do.

In an ger, un kind words are said that (F7)make the tear drops (Bb)start.

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

You’ll (F)nev er know how much it hurts to see you sit and (C7)cry.

You know you need and want my love, yet you’re a fraid to (F)try.

Why do you run and hide from life?

To (F7)try it just ain’t (Bb)smart.

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

There was a time when I be lieved that you be longed to (C7)me, but now I know your heart is shack led to a mem o (F)ry.

The more I learn to care for you, the (F7)more we drift a (Bb)part.

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

You’ll melt your cold, cold (F)heart?
