Funny how some songs seem to have so much at certain times.

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


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

Amazingly poignant. What song is that? I don't recognize the lyrics but they're beautiful.

Well the version I have is Norah Jones; I think that the composer may be Hank Williams.
