(Hank Williams)

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 mem'ry from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your debtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart.

--- Instrumental ---

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 debtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart.

--- Instrumental ---

You'll never know how much it hurts
To sit and watch you 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 debtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart...
