A Song for You / I Can't Make You Love Me

I've been so many places

In my life and times

I've sung a lot of songs

And I've made some bad rhymes

I've acted out my life on stages

With ten thousand people watching

But we're alone

And I'll be singing this song to you

I know your image of me

Is what I hope to be

I've treated you unkind

But darling can't you see

There's no one more important to me

Baby can't you please see through me

But we're alone now

And I'll be singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrеts

Of the truth withholding nothing

You came out in front

When I was hiding

But now I'm so much bеtter

And if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody

'Cause my love is in there hidingTurn 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

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel

Something it won'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 'til then

To give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

You came out in front

When I was hiding

Listen to the melody

Won't you listenI 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

And I can't make you love me

If you don't

If you don't
