Charlie Rich was simultaneously one of the most critically acclaimed and most erratic country singers of post-World War II era. Rich had all the elements of being one of the great country stars of the '60s and '70s, but his popularity never matched his critical notices. What made him a critical favorite also kept him from mass success. Throughout his career, Rich willfully bended genres, fusing country, jazz, blues, gospel, rockabilly, and soul. Though he had 45 country hits in a career that spanned nearly four decades, he became best-known for his lush, Billy Sherrill-produced countrypolitan records of the early '70s.

Cold Cold Heart Lyrics
Charlie Rich
Cold Cold Heart
By Charlie Rich
Ive tried so hard my dear to show that youre my every dream.
Yet youre afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme.
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart.
Why cant 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 didnt do.
In anger, unkind words I said that make the teardrops start.
Why cant I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
(cold, cold heart)
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me.
But now I know your heart is shackled to that memory.
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart.
Why cant I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
(cold, cold heart)
