Day 1 - Your Favorite Song

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

Picking 1 favorite song is incredibly difficult. I can pick a favorite song from each artist I love. But I guess I have to go with the song I remember being my first favorite song when I was younger. I grew up listening to (what I now know is) Adult Contemporary radio. Back then, they played "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt pretty often. The lyrics get me every time.



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
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
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
But give me 'til then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Chorus to end
