Cold, Cold Heart (Hank Williams cover) Lyrics
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 payin' for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words I say that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?
There was a time that 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?
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?
And so my heart is payin' for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words I say that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?
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?

Best example of her range of talent. This song has been done by so many people but the arrangement of hers is the best. She has taken a timeless piece of perfection by Hank Williams which has always sounded whiny and made it sound like a million bucks.
I grew out of Norah Jones, but find this song beautiful...
I love norah! Her lyrics are so insightful and make you wish you had thought them first! It's great to see such raw talent again! This song is one of my favourites on her album. I could just close my eyes and put it on replay for the whole day!
last verse should read there was a time when i believed your heart belonged to me
I love the bass part in the beginning of this song.. So cool.
God to have such a voice its a voice like maple syrup to the ear :Pcan relate to I've tried so hard to show that you're my every dream
Hey Danika - I bet Norah wishes she'd thought of those insightful lyrics first, too. The song was written by Hank Williams. Doh!
norah jones is freaking amazing. i love this song. It just brings so much emotion to me. I feel the pain of trying to get someone you love to trust you and love you back. I did even know that this song was a remake. Norah has brought this song to a whole new generation. Kudos to her!
I love this song. Someone should sig this to Simon Cowell, the mean judge on American Idol. lol
