I Can't Make You Love Me (feat. Enrico Farnedi)

from I Am / I Was DELUXE EDITION (with Bonus Tracks) by Didascalis

about

Before I came to know that the original version had been released by Bonnie Raitt, obviously, I first heard the version of George Michael, in the Older e.p. cd-single....

Well, Of Bonnie's version I love how it stands up for all its lenght, but of George I loved the backing vocals and the way he performed it...

I mixed it up, adding a trumpet solo by a good friend of mine, and this is my personal view of this precious jewel...

lyrics

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

'Cause 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
'Cause 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

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