Cold, Cold Heart

By Hank Williams

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

A 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 and 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?

You’ll never know

how much it hurts

to see you sit and cry

You know you need 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 doubtful mind

and melt your cold, cold heart?

Because you run and hide

from life

We now have to part.

I’ll never free your

doubtful mind

or

melt your cold, cold heart.
