Cold Cold Heart

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 pastkeeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mindand melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love, before my time, made your heart sad an' 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 mindAnd melt your cold, cold heart?
There was a time when
I believed that you belonged to me but now I know your heart is shackledto a memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mindand melt your cold, cold heart?

The Nearness Of You

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and
I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
