Louis Armstrong

Lyrics

Cold, Cold Heart

Oh, yes, man, 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 didn't do, yes

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?
