I 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 didnt do
  
   In anger unkind words are said
   That makes 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?
