Cold, Cold Heart (1972) (Hank Williams) Released on "The Lost Recording" I tried so hard my dear to show That you’re my every dream But now I know your heart is shackled To an empty 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 There was a time when I believed That you belonged to me But now I know your heart is shackled To a memory 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 it didn’t do 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 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 Why can’t I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart
