Bonnie Raitt & Bruce Hornsby - I Can't Make You Love Me

Such a beautiful late Spring Day here in the MetroWest Area of Greater Boston and to complete my Official Music Interlude for today, I selected another of Bonnie Raitt songs, "I Can't Make You Love Me", but she joins Bruce Hornsby on this rendition, which in my view is wonderful... I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did...

LYRICS:

"I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Hornsby

Turn down the lights;
Turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.

Lay down with me;
Tell me no lies.
Just hold me close;
Don't patronize.

Don't patronize me.

[Chorus:]
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't.
Here in the dark
In these final hours,
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power;
But you won't.
No, you won't.
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.

I'll close my eyes,
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me.

Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.

And I will give up this fight.

[Chorus]
