Tony Bennett:
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
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
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and 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 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

Sorry, I wasn't being snarky. Sometimes concise is better. Plus, I didn't want to get into a musical debate about the value of Hank Williams' contributions to modern music with anyone who might not care for country music.

(13,801 posts)My response wasn't intended to be snarky, either.
You're right that concise is sometimes better.
I'm can't help noticing that our subseqent posts aren't quite so concise.
